I'm looking for good horse magazines out there that aren't really focusing on western or dressage but more on jumping and tips and health care tips. Any good ones out there? Thankx.

Courtney B asked:


I've seen tons of people exaggerate the amount of time and care you need to own a horse. I know plenty of people who own pasture horses that require little maintenance. I am looking into buying a horse and I need realistic answers. One horse. It will be a pleasure horse that will be ridden probably every other day and live in a pasture. And additional information you can provide me with about caring for a horse is welcome :)

cheetahfreak94 asked:


Say you go buy some land and put out horse there. You build a barn and shelter and all that good stuff. You see the horse almost everyday (riding, grooming, loving, etc.), but on rare occasion, you don't see the horse for 3 days at the most. How do you feed the horse? And take care of it? No, I do not have a horse, nor do I plan to get one. I'm just curious.

Stephanie V asked:


Know any good books about horse care? I think I may adopt my first horse in a couple of months. I've never owned my own horse- just leased. I'm interested in books with a lot of good information and advice!

-Please note, i do not need you to explain basic horse care to me. I already know basic horse care. I'm more interested in finding a book that will help me understand advanced horse care- like arthritis and aging ect.

Melissa S asked:


I don't know whether to do my stage 1 2 and 3 or do a degree in horse care and behaviour. Which one will give me more career options, and which will employers favour? You only need GCSEs to do the stages but A levels to do the degree.
