Am I really the Weirdo? Posts: 11181 Location: Kansas	I have the book Equine Fitness: A Program of Exercises and Routines for Your Horse, and a book on basic massage techniques but am browsing Amazon in case there's another horse care/health/fitness/conditioning book that I might want to add to my library. I love the fitness book because its got stretches and drills to do with horses to condition specific muscles, but I'd also love to learn more about anything else to do with horses. Any suggestions?

The Rose of Rodeo... Posts: 2560 Location: Where we still run to look when the siren goes by.	"Getting in T-touch" is an interesting book to read. It talks about head, eye, and ear shapes related to behavior/attitude, facial swirls and meaning, also has some massage techniques that horses really like. I read it a long time ago and think there might have been some hokey parts I skipped over but some pretty cool things in it too.

Draw the Line Posts: 1371 Location: Too Far North	You should read, "Go the Distance". By DVM Nancy Loving. It id geared for endurance riding but is all about fitness, form, nutrition and health for the horse. You can learn a lot about heart rate and respiratory rate recoveries and how they relate to a horses fitness. I had to special order from a bookstore. Edited by trainmaster 2014-02-09 5:07 PM
