Do you suffer from “Pony Fever”? Have you been waiting a long time to add a horse to your family? Have you carefully considered a match between you and your new equine buddy? Have you decided exactly where he’s going to live and how you’re going to keep him happy? Do you have moments when the idea of bringing a horse into your life is scary? Horses are unlike any other animal companion. They’re too big to live in your house, so they have to live in specialized homes of their own.

Whether you’re a new horse owner, a beginner to all things equine, or a seasoned equestrian who’s facing a new problem horse, Did I Really Mean to Buy a Horse? What to Do When Your Horse Is Acting Like a Monster, and When (and How) to Call for Help is the ultimate resource for understanding what your horse is trying to tell you. Communicating with a horse is learning a new language, as Ms. Hill points out, and learning to “speak horse” can take some patience and assistance.

Have you ever watched your horse do something that made you wonder, "Why does my horse act this way?" You're not alone. Many horse behaviors that seem confusing or frustrating are actually rooted in natural instincts. Understanding why horses behave the way they do is the first step toward becoming a more confident, knowledgeable horse owner. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, Meredith Hill explains how natural equine behavior develops, how it appears in domestic settings, and what you can do to build a safer, healthier partnership with your horse.

Shopping for a horse is unlike shopping for anything else. Not only are horses very big, but they can be very expensive, too. They have very specific needs and personalities that match their large size. Such a huge investment of time and money needs to be taken very seriously.

Horse ownership can be exciting, rewarding, and deeply fulfilling, but it also can be overwhelming for beginners. Feeding, housing, daily care, equipment, pasture management, and health needs all come with a learning curve, and conflicting advice can make it hard to know where to start. In Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners, Meredith Hill draws on more than 30 years of hands-on experience to help new horse owners understand the practical side of caring for a horse before that first horse ever steps onto the property.

Working with your very own horse can be one of the most wonderful parts of your day…until it’s not. In The Well-Mannered Horse: Developing an Ideal Equine Buddy, Meredith Hill is back with more insight on how to deal with some of your horse’s less enjoyable behaviors.
