     "This is a proper beginner's book, although there is information in it that would be of value to horsemen with miles of experience.
     "Generously illustrated with excellent black-and-white photos, this book offers truly the most painless way to learn about elementary horsemanship - on the ground. 
     "Safety is emphasized at all times, and so is the well-being of the horse. 
     "From catching to bathing, braiding to hoof picking, this book covers all the basics for keeping your horse clean, safe, and presentable."  - 
 The Quarter Horse Journal

 

     "Cherry Hill's books, "Horse Handling and Grooming" and "Horse Health Care" are the perfect reference guide for both novice and experienced horse owners.
     "Using step-by-step photos taken by Richard Klimesh and clear concise captions, Hill walks through every subject from bathing and mane training to leading and haltering.
     "Hill's books are widely read in college course across the country. The books kick off Storey Publishing's new "Horsekeeping Skills Library" and are both Rodale Book Club selections.
 -  Pro Rodeo Sports News
