Have you ever dreamed of owning your own horse, going to a dude ranch, or winning the Kentucky Derby? Maybe you've thought it would be fun to live out on the open range or ride with the Pony Express. Perhaps you have wondered what it would be like to go trail riding or camp out under the stars, eating jerky, and sleeping on a ten-gallon hat. Well, you are not alone; almost everyone loves horses whether they are wild or tame, real or just a toy horse that you can ride.

One of the reasons we love them so much may be because horses have been a part of our world for millions of years. We have horses to ride, horses to race, and horses that we collect. In The Everything® Kids' Horses Book you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about horses, from riding the range to how to find the perfect horse and what it takes to give a horse the best care possible.

This book is filled with all kinds of information on what to feed a horse, how to take care of a stable and the best places to ride a horse. You'll find out what it takes to groom and train a horse, including the tools you will need and the amount of time you should spend working with the horse. You'll also get the chance to clown around at a rodeo, learn how to joust like a knight, find out what horse pills are, and barrel race like a pro.

Inside the pages of this book you will be able to explore canyons, travel the world, visit zoos, weave a blanket, make a sculpture, learn how to compete with a horse, or just kick back and spend some time horsing around with a few horse jokes and games. So what are you waiting for? All you need are a few supplies, your family and friends, and this one of a kind guide to fun. Well, partner, it looks like it's time to saddle up, so hold onto your reins and get ready, because you're about to go for the ride of your life!
