Jay Swallow has spent her life looking after horses and ponies, has run a successful stud for twenty years, used to be a Pony Club branch secretary, and is a regular contributor to Riding. Now she has distilled her knowledge into PONY CARE, with the aim of improving the well-being of every pony and owner through advice on how to avoid the many pitfalls that can trap the unprepared. The book starts right at the beginning-with a parent, knowing nothing about pony care, thinking of buying a first pony for a persistent young rider. It goes through to keeping an experienced competition pony and includes chapters on feeding, saddlery, stable management and veterinary notes. The author has the happy gift of making the reader feel that the stable chores and problems are being shared by a sympathetic and knowledgeable friend, especially as she considers the feelings and comfort of everyone, not only the pony itself and its besotted owner, but the other members of the family as well. Their live will never be the same after a pony has joined the family circle-the intention of PONY CARE is to make sure that the change is for the better. Hardback ed 1976
