Buying a horse can be fun, exciting-and frustrating, but this new book from Bob Avila can help make the process easier and more enjoyable. In Be a Smart Horse Buyer, Bob Avila, trainer of over 35 world champion or reserve world champions, will walk you through the horse purchase process. You will start by making a checklist of what you want in a horse, and see if it matches what you really need. Bob will tell you the pros and pitfalls of buying off the net, and tell you what you can and can not learn from a sale video. You will learn the vices you can live with, and the seven signs that you should walk away. You will also get great advice on how to choose a horse for your child. And top performance horse veterinarian Kurt Heite, DVM, will take you through the pre-purchase exam and explain what vetting can tell you about your prospect. Whether you are buying your first horse or your new horse, this book is an invaluable resource to assist you in buying the best horse for you

Here is an instruction manual for the novice worker in rawhide. Unlike many other works on the subject, this book assumes no previous knowledge or experience. The reader is shown in drawings and photographs every step of the procedure starts with a fresh cowhide, continues through cutting strings and braiding, and ends with finished reatas, bosals, hobbles, or reins. Along the way, the author discusses the needed tools and implements, which the beginner can make for them (out of readily available materials) by following the directions in this book. The chapters on braiding provide simplified techniques for producing a number of basic patterns, which may be modified or enlarged upon to yield endless variations. Users or collectors of braided rawhide will value this book for its demonstration of what to look for when buying an article, how to care for it, and, in a historical vein, how each item was produced in the past. For those who collect, use, or aspire to learn how to make your own cowboy horse gear, dont miss Woolerys book. Western Horseman
