Samenvatting:

What is it like to own and ride a horse or live on a farm? How far can a horse be ridden in a day or a week? What is the difference between horse breeds & types or English and Western bridles and saddles? How do you pluck a chicken? Is milking a cow any different from milking a goat? Why are some fences made out of boards while others use rails or wire? These are all complicated subjects. Getting the details right can add depth and realism to a story. You’ll find the answers in this book along with links to sites and books that explore the subjects in greater detail.

The cover is Blue, a grandson of Secretariat, my wife's favorite horse. He's shaking off flies; a comical picture of a perennial problem.
