Everything for horse owners

The practical reference book for modern horse husbandry

Horse husbandry has undergone fundamental changes in recent decades—from agricultural livestock to valued leisure partners and economic factors.

This change has also increased the demands placed on modern, animal-friendly, and economically successful husbandry.

The reference book “Everything for horse owners” by Dr. Peter Zechner offers in-depth, first-hand expert knowledge:

from the biology of horses to species-appropriate husbandry and needs-based feeding to modern stable concepts and the targeted prevention of typical diseases.

Practical, understandable, and up-to-date, it provides the necessary know-how for responsible horse owners and professionals.

A special focus is placed on professional horse breeding and farm management.

Different types of farms—from breeding and rearing farms to boarding stables—are examined in detail, analyzed economically, and evaluated in a practical manner.

The work is supplemented by a comprehensive overview of the legal framework.

Your indispensable guide to successful, future-oriented horse husbandry.
