Years ago I read a book called Horse Feathers Fact versus Myths about your horse’s health.

It presented some common ideas about horses that the author felt were untrue.

I remember agreeing with a few chapters and strongly disagreeing with one or two.

But I thoroughly enjoyed the thought process………..

So here it goes:
Horse Feathers by Bad Eventer…… Fact versus Myths about Eventing.

These people are some of the best eventers in the world.
