This basic book does exactly what the title says. It is a book on the basics of horses and horse care for younger children. In a conversational tone, it sets out some history of horses, ways to bond with your pony/horse, and how to care for them and their tack. While teaching a child to be self reliant around horses, the author assures the reader to work with a parent or to call the vet if necessary. Emphasis is placed on both a happy and confident child and pony. At the end the author talks about famous horses from mythology and history. Makes a nice beginner book prior to jumping into the Pony Club manuals.… (plus d'informations)

Although this book is intended for children, I loved it. This book is packed with all kinds of facts about horses, not just about how to take care of them. I learned a lot about horses and enjoyed the short quiz questions at the end of each section. The book includes color pictures and also drawings of horses, such as horse anatomy. As I was reading this book, I often read the horse information out loud to my husband, as this was so fascinating to me.

The book features sections on history of horses, their anatomy, their lifestyle and life span, horse breeds, how horses walk, what they eat, and how to care for them. Even if a person is not interested in horses very much, this is a fascinating and attention-getting little book. It is obviously written by a person who is quite knowledgeable about horses and knows how to share that knowledge in a way that is fun to read. I think this is a good book for kids and adults to read together. It is written in a way that is easy to understand for kids and adults, without being condescending. I highly recommend this book for all audiences.… (plus d'informations)
