The author explains why horses and ponies behave as they do, and answers questions about their bone structure, teeth, eyesight, and other physical traits. Here, too, young readers can find out about such items as bridles, saddles; how to stable, feed, and groom an animal; what to do if a horse kicks, shies, or bolts; how to care for a newborn foal, or how to train a colt.

While stressing the need of a veterinarian for an injured or ailing horse, Mrs Self feels that the young person in charge should understand what is going on, too. With this in mind, she has included a chapter on first aid. Riding clothes, horse shows, famous horses, and pony clubs are further features of this all-inclusive book. Over 140 line drawings by a horseman-artist, and a gallery of horse and pony photographs help bring the facts alive. A detailed index and a glossary of terms complete this valuable young equestrians guide."
