Care And Management Of The Older Horse

By Parsons, H.

"Today, horses are living longer than ever before, partly owing to
advances in veterinary medicine, but also due to the willingness of
owners to keep older horses for pleasure riding and companions.
Literature on the care and training of horses in available in
abundance, but the special needs of older or elderly horse are rarely
addressed in depth. This book aims to provide owners and caretakers
with a wealth of practical advice and information for making their
horses older years both healthy and trouble free. All aspects of care
and managements are covered, including feeding, care of pastured
horses and those stabled, seasonal care, vaccinations and worming
programs, dental care, shoeing, exercise and work, saddle fitting,
insurance, and retirement options. There is a veterinary section
dealing with problems commonly encountered by older horses, and an
illuminating and practical section on euthanasia. This invaluable book
will assist all owners in understanding the special requirements of
older horses in order to prolong their active lives and care for them
in retirement. An essential addition to every horse owner's
bookshelf."
