Description A horse's physical fitness and condition are central to his ability to perform well and to fulfill the considerable demands that are frequently made of him. While these demands are most apparent at the higher levels of competition, the horse's fitness is not a subject that should concern only the competitive rider or trainer. Rather, it is a matter for all horse owners, regardless of whether the horse is a top-level eventer or a child's first pony. This book explains what fitness is, how it affects general health, and how to achieve it for your own horse. Topics include: Muscles, movement, and stress The respiratory system Modern methods of increasing fitness Monitoring and maintaining fitness Illness and injury. Whether conditioning for horse trials, endurance riding, or just riding on the trail, this book will enable you to provide your horse with the means to achieve your aims. Susan McBane has been an equestrian writer for over twenty-five years and has written many books on riding and horse care. 144 pp, 6 x 9, 70 b/w photos, 20 drawings
