The American Youth Horse Council has released a new set of facts sheets, which supplement the well-known Horse Industry Handbook. Thousands have come to rely upon the Horse Industry Handbook as an indispensable source for information about care and management of the horse. Owners praise the Horse Industry Handbook for its extensive information in an easy to access format. The book is being used by Colleges and Universities, equine programs, breed associations, veterinarians and by horse people worldwide. It is now even better.

This packet includes fact sheets in the following areas:

• Therapeutic Riding
  
• Scientific Principles for Conditioning Race and Performance Horses
  
• Nutritional Management of the Broodmare
  
• Evaluating Commercial Horse Feeds
  
• Estimating Body Weights of Horses
  
• Creep Feeding Growing Horses
  
• Diagnosis of Feed induced Disease
  
• Feeding the Rapidly Growing Foal
  
• Common Foot Problems and Solutions
  
• Common Feet and Lower Leg Problems of the Horse

AYHC has also been hard at work producing a companion Youth Leaders Manual, which takes the information in the horse industry handbook and breaks it down into lesson plans and activities which make it fun for kids to learn. This book is great for leaders and parents to share the joy of horses with kids.

A 2000 set of fact sheets is currently scheduled for publication in the late fall
