Two great "Horse" books

This is one of the books by Cherry Hill I just got. Both are excellent for horsekeepers, especially new horsekeepers. They are full of relevant, useful information, well-organized and presented clearly.

Amazon had both available, new, at good prices, and they were both delivered quickly.
A must have book

Cherry Hill has written a number of books but this one may become a classic. If you are planning on keeping your horse at home or just want to learn about all the factors involved before you buy a horse then read this book.
This is used as a text for Stable Management classes in the Equine Business management department at the University where I teach. I also use it for the adult education evening classes.
Very useful book on horsekeeping

An excellent book with many suggestions for keeping horses on small acreage. The diagrams, photos, helpful suggestions, and plain language make this a winner. The authors also include helpful recommendations that go beyond the dimensions of fields inclduing practical tips and realities of being horseowners. Even if you are just THINKING about potentially keeping horses on your property, this is an excellent resource to help you make an informed decision.
A MUST READ

Anyone considering keeping horses in the backyard MUST read this book first. It will make all the difference in the success of your venture.
Interesting Information

I specifically bought this book to research stables for horses on small acreage. In reality, it covers many basics of actual horsekeeping (just like the name says!) and care. Nutrition, blanketing, wrapping, worming, etc. This wasn't information I was looking for, but it was very good, accurate, and practical, and I think many would find the information very useful. I did think the more 'nuts and bolts' information of setting up a stable was good. Especially things like water sources, siting the stable, fencing, types of stables, manure disposal. Was personally hoping for more architectural info, but a solid good horsekeeping book nonetheless.
