A good book to prepare you for horse care?

Stephanie V asked:

Know any good books about horse care? I think I may adopt my first horse in a couple of months. I’ve never owned my own horse- just leased. I’m interested in books with a lot of good information and advice!

-Please note, i do not need you to explain basic horse care to me. I already know basic horse care. I’m more interested in finding a book that will help me understand advanced horse care- like arthritis and aging ect.

Trish the Dish asked:

I have always wanted a horse. I love riding them when I can. Right now I don’t have the means to get one, but I’d like to save some money so someday down the road I can make this a reality for myself.

How much does an average horse cost, and how much does it usually cost to take care of them? I won’t get one until I have some land and a place to keep it, in case that makes a difference in how much it costs.

Any information would be great, thanks!
