Hints on Horse Care and Training Practices
Teach a horse what you want and he will do it. Keep stalls clean with plaster to cut odors. Avoid unskillful shoeing and protect feet with proper care and food. Tread softly with nervous horses and never rush or shout. Tie for night comfort and avoid tying to prevent lying down. Cool a horse after a drive with careful drying and a short walk before unhitching.
