Give a Horse a Second Chance
991342
Your guide to adopting and caring for rescue horses. Compassionate guide for the compassionate owner.

Adopting a rescue horse is indeed a noble thing to do, but are you prepared for the ups and downs that you may expect to encounter and know how to handle them. Your knowledge at the beginning can save much heartache later on, for both you and your newly found equine partner.

Many equine athletes are ready to begin their second career. Breeds available are not just thoroughbreds or Standardbreds but also every other breed you can imagine, from Belgians to Shetland Ponies. This author, J.R. Wise guides you through every part of the process of adoption, including who to contact to find the right horse.

Topics covered include how to choose the type, breed and conformation, age and temperament, how to introduce the horse to his new home, veterinary considerations including conformation and soundness issues, how to care for an equine senior citizen, how to replace bad habits with good ones, selling and donating the horse if you can no longer look after the animal.

Hardcover. 186pp.

Here at TheHorseStudio.com we believe in doing what we can and giving back to the equine community. Please check out our Live To Ride Bracelets. For each purchase a donation to Habitat for Horses is made. Also all the Live To Ride T shirts are in this program, and a contribution is made for each purchase also. With the soaring number of horses now homeless due to the closing of all U.S. slaughterhouses and the high cost of feeding and keeping a horse in these tough economic times, more horses than ever need our help.
