"One of the most prolific writers in the equine industry, Cherry Hill has compiled another book filled with good how-to information. Ample black and white photographs and the open layout make the information easy to follow, and, in this case, a picture is worth a thousand words. Her simple explanations and instructions solve much of the mystery for horsemen, especially those new to the industry." - Western Horseman
