GILLIAN MCCARTHY - Pasture Management for Horses and Ponies

Great Britain, BSP Professional Books, 1988. 1st BSP Professional Books Edition, Binding: Soft Cover, Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0632022868 Paperback Paperback. Pasture Management for Horses and Ponies. Slight foxing to edge. The area of grassland on which a horse is kept may form up to 100% of its daily environment and provide up to 100% of its nutrition and 100% facility for its exercise. This may apply equally to a 'multi-million' thoroughbred foal or the family pony. The aim of this book is to provide basic information to help horse keepers make important decisions on how to manage their pasture or whom to ask for advice. At present there is a lack of information and guidance on pasture management which relates to such a valuable and vital resource, whether it be the end of your garden or on the rolling acres of Kentucky. This book will provide an informative handbook for the private horseowner, a management aid for the professional horse manager (including studs) and a textbook for students. Illustrated. 259 pp.
