Get to know all the books in the Howell Equestrian Library; many are modern-day classics and have achieved the status of authoritative references in the estimation of those who ride, train and care for horses. The Howell Equestrian Library Susan Harris has found the way to take a good book and make it better. She's done it by updating Grooming to Win, the definitive reference on the subject, to include current show-ring standards and breed requirements as well as other changes that have taken place since the book was first published in 1977. Now there is a new Western chapter and a chapter on dressage and the Sport Horse, to mention but two of the most notable additions. Extensive new information is given on the following topics: conditioning and developing show horses - health care, feeding, leg care, bandaging and massage - safety in handling, grooming and clipping the difficult horse - techniques and products for show grooming, braiding, clipping and trimming - show presentation details for all breeds and disciplines.This second edition has charts that highlight correct show trim/braiding by breed, discipline and division for quick reference.
