Owning a horse is one of life's great pleasures-and expenses. Here, finally, is a user-friendly and thoroughly illustrated one-stop shop of cost-saving ideas to help all horse owners (and/or their significant others) get more for their money than they ever imagined possible. 25 Projects for Horsemen is chock full of easy-to-follow, do-it-yourself projects for barn, riding arena, paddock, or pasture. Numerous photos and schematic drawings accompany step-by-step instructions for everything from small, useful projects such as saddle stands and grooming boxes; to more ambitious undertakings such as barn and stall doors and making your own jumps. There are also indoor crafts projects involving sewing and cooking. With easy-to-read type and a convenient layout, 25 Projects for Horsemen will help all horsemen (and horsewomen)-whether one-horse backyard owners or professional, multi-horse barn managers, and Western- or English-style riders alike-to get those long-planned (or never dreamt of) projects off the drawing board without going bankrupt.
