Many equine athletes are ready and waiting to begin second careers. Author J.R. Wise gives you good advice on where and how to adopt, choosing the right horse, introducing it to a new home, veterinary issues and much more.

Hardcover, 185 pp.

Every year hundreds of thousands of people adopt feral mustangs and other untrained horses as well as rescue previously abused animals. Give a Horse a Second Chance helps the reader decide which “gift horses” are within their ability to help and then describes how to go about giving the animal a happy, healthy, and useful environment and life.
The author, a longtime expert dealing with rescue horses, offers practical and sympathetic information on such subjects as:

Why adopt a horse?: the pros and cons of adoption
Adoption process: where to look and how to adopt
Choosing a horse: breeds and types, conformation, age, temperament
Homecoming: introducing the horse to its new home
Veterinary considerations: including conformation and soundness issues
Caring for an equine senior citizen: care and exercise for the older animal
Training: replacing bad habits with good ones
Selling or donating the horse: if you can no longer look after the animal

With an appendix by natural horsemanship trainer Dan Bowman and a list of equine adoption agencies, Give a Horse a Second Chance is a comprehensive and compassionate guide to this timely subject.
