About this listen
Do you suffer from “Pony Fever”?
Have you been waiting a long time to add a horse to your family?
Have you carefully considered a match between you and your new equine buddy?
Have you decided exactly where he’s going to live and how you’re going to keep him happy?
Do you have moments when the idea of bringing a horse into your life is scary?
Horses are unlike any other animal companion. They’re too big to live in your house, so they have to live in specialized homes of their own. They have specific diet requirements, and they need a regular vet and farrier care to keep them healthy and happy. They’re big, dangerous, and highly opinionated. And you absolutely can’t wait to have one of your own!
In Help! I Bought a New Horse!: What First Time Horse Owners Need to Know About Grooming, Riding, Training, and Horse Care, author Meredith Hill helps newcomers to the horse world navigate the wild landscape of:
- Finding the horse of your dreams...whatever that means
- Determining the best possible living situation for your horse
- Getting organized for bringing your horse home
- Learning how to communicate with your new horse
- Choosing the activities you’d like to try with your horse
This volume includes Meredith Hill’s previous books to provide a full, comprehensive guide to the first few years of horse ownership and well beyond:
- Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners
- I Have a Horse...Now What: How Grooming, Training, Riding, and Equine Competitive Activities Can Build a Lifelong Bond
Whether you have carefully cultivated equine dreams that you’ve held onto for years or you’re just starting to consider adding a horse to your family, Meredith Hill helps equestrians of all ages and experience levels take the next step in their new horse journey.
If you’re ready to give in to your lifelong dream of owning a horse, consider adding this book to your collection of new horse ownership tools!

Story
Everyone knows a woman who loves horses. Maybe she rides whenever she can find the time, maybe she rode as a young girl, or maybe she just devoured the Black Stallion books. Twenty years ago, Nancy Shulins let go of one dream - having a child - and worked toward another one: learning to ride and, eventually, having her own horse. In the process, she learned what it means to love another being so much you can’t imagine life without them.

Story
In 2008, 26-year-old Tik Maynard faced a crossroads not unlike that of other young adults. A university graduate and modern pentathlete, he suffered both a career-ending injury and a painful breakup, leaving him suddenly adrift. The son of prominent Canadian equestrians, Maynard decided to spend the next year as a "working student." In the horse industry, working students aspire to become professional riders or trainers, and willingly trade labor for hands-on education.

Story
Best-selling author Michael Korda's Horse People is the story - sometimes hilariously funny, sometimes sad and moving, always shrewdly observed - of a lifetime love affair with horses, and of the bonds that have linked humans with horses for more than 10,000 years. It is filled with intimate portraits of the kind of people, rich or poor, Eastern or Western, famous or humble, whose lives continue to revolve around the horse. Korda is a terrific storyteller, and his book is intensely personal and seductive, a joy for everyone who loves horses.

This book is in-depth enough to explain the concepts yet short enough to easily listen to and remember. It is an excellent introduction to Karen Rohlf and her "dressage naturally" system.

Horse or Teenager
Meredith does a great job at preparing new horse owners. I feel like I have learned almost everything I need to know. Now I am unsure if I really want a horse that may have an attitude like my teenager. All jokes aside this author is amazing and a must-read for any horse owner new or not.

The Horse Bible
A must-read if you're in the horse business or just beginning. There is always something to learn and this is a very basic guide so I think that various levels of equine experts can benefit from this book.

Vets are friends
I have read a few beginning horse care books and respect that Meredith is so humble as she gives information. She has many years of experience and still makes sure to mention that the Vet is your friend. It takes a village to raise a baby and a horse.

I never thought about it the way Hill explains it. She encourages to pick a horse based on what sports you want to do with your new best friend. This is something I hadn’t thought of before. So grateful for this author sharing her experiences.

Worth the credit!
I had so many credits to spend and wanted to try another Meredith Hill book since these are so insightful. My advice would be to start here as it is more of a general guide and then pick one of her more specific books for further research.

calming and funny
This narrator knows exactly when to change her voice based on what she is reading. If she is reading a fond memory or sad portion her voice is calming and soothing. She transitions into a light-hearted voice when recalling a happy story. This kept me engaged the entire time.
