...truly inspiring...

Your work is truly inspiring to me and I feel your ideas and methods are wonderful. Your focus on the horse and what the horse needs is what I believe to be the most important. It's easy to find information that bases itself more on the humans needs and I appreciate your knowledge and care for the horse. Your answers have provided me with a great sense of where to start and where I can end up. AI

Matting in loafing sheds is a way to minimize dirt intake when feeding and easy to clean as a bonus.

There are examples of various types of horse blankets and sheets, suggestions on setting up a useful tackroom and a lot more.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and her name is Cherry Hill. She is an award-winning author of more than twenty books and one thousand articles for various horse publications, and her offerings are thorough, thoughtful and easy to understand and implement.

The book is divided into three parts, "Knowing Horses," "Designing Your Acreage" and "Management." She concludes with "Recommended Reading," a glossary and a useful index, too. Knowing Horses includes chapters on ownership, behavior, needs and program, which refers to a management routine. Designing Your Acreage includes chapters on site, layout, barn, interior, outbuildings, equipment, fencing and arenas. The Management section breaks down into land, water, sanitation, disasters, security, routines and records.

She provides detailed sample layouts with materials for horse housing from a half-acre residential subdivision up to a twenty-acre ranch. The level of detail, the diagrams, the comparative charts, the photos, and the various layouts supplied by the author make this book a must-have.
