About this ebook
Book Description
This book teaches you how to build a relationship with your new horse, how to care for him, feed him, ride him, and what to do in the event you need to sell your horse.
Main features include:
• Acclimating your horse to his new home
• Transitioning from an outdoor horse to a barn horse
• Adjusting your horse to new horses
• Feeding your horse and how to adjust him to new food
• Spotting and treating illnesses
• Knowing and correcting bad habits, whether in the barn or while riding
• Proper equipment and treatment while riding
• Proper procedure if you need to sell the horse
If you are new to owning a horse and need to learn the basics (buying, riding, feeding, selling), then this book is for you. The book explains each point in short, easy-to-read paragraphs, so you will not miss anything important.
Additionally, this book explains that horses have feelings, providing a helpful human equivalent to better understand the horse’s position. Horses are intelligent creatures, not push-button machines. A horse’s feelings can be compared to a human’s feelings. Just like humans, horses are individuals with minds of their own.

Chapter 1 - Bringing Your Equine Companion Home
Introducing Your Horse to His New Home
Your new equine companion has arrived. He is nervous and looking around. He does not know where he is or what is going to happen to him. You must get him adjusted. What do you do?
One important piece of information is that you speak with the former owner on how much hay, grain (and what type) and pasture time the horse gets. Sudden changes in a horse’s food and turn out/stall time can cause serious complications. For example, a horse that has been kept outside most the time and then suddenly spends several hours confined in a box stall may develop health issues. Sudden changes in feeding types can cause illnesses, too. Transition time for both food and shelter must be slow and gradual.
