About this product

Product Information

In Horse Housekeeping, Margaret and Michael Korda (she is a successful novice- and training-level eventer and he is the author of Horse People) provide everything you need to know to set up a barn of your own and care for your horse (or horses) at home. Authoritative, inspirational, highly accessible, full of common sense and down-to-earth advice, all of it based on twenty-five years of experience, the Kordas' book is a basic resource for anybody who wants to keep horses in a safe, content, healthy, and cost-effective way at home, from detailed lists of things you need to have on hand to the basic (and not so basic) dos and don'ts of horse care. Divided into such useful chapters as "Fencing and Paddocks," "The Barn Routine," "The Care of the Horse," "People," "Feeding and Caring for the Horse," "Tack," "Horse Clothing," "Equipment," and "Care for the Aging Horse," it is helpfully illustrated and written in a voice that is at once informative, supportive, and full of funny (and not so funny) stories about horse housekeeping. The Kordas offer a unique and reliable guide to horse care that not only will be invaluable to beginner and experienced horse owners alike, but also is astonishingly readable. They take you through the steps of deciding if having a horse barn is practical for you, including helpful suggestions on space-saving barn designs, creating pastures, building fences, sample exercise routines, the right feed, the basics of horse health care, and the equipment needed for both horse care and property maintenance. This detailed, user-friendly compendium of down-home wisdom, entertaining stories, and straightforward horse sense will help you to set up a barn the right way, so you will have time to actually ride your horse.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you.

  • Elitist Horse Owner's Unite

    This book was a total disappointment for me. I am a first time horse owner and relatively well versed in the means and methods of equine care. These authors do not have a realistic view of the average horse owner. For example, keep a bucket handy because your horse will pee within 5 minutes of being put in their stall. Use the bucket to catch the pee. There are few drawings and no photos for demonstration or reference. Their stable has the recommended washer and dryer as well as full toilet. Oh, yes! Of course we can afford that. While some of these chapters may look like they are useful, don't be fooled. They are not. If you are one of the rich and own a horse or 5, this book is for you. I am not. I regret my purchase especially when compared to similar books. It was not worth my time ...

  • This make (horse) sense...!

    As a distant relative of the authors, I don't wish to have my opinion sound stilted, but - as always, Michael's writing style is a welcomed and familiar accent, ...and their fond memories of horse raising, riding and general care are wonderful voices of experience - for the novice and experienced horse person, alike! An easy-read, worthy of picking-up over and over again!

  • Love his style!

    Highly recommended as are all his semi-autobiographical books. Mr Korda has an easy style that keeps me reading to that last page.
