American Youth Horse Council Presents Updates to its Horse Industry Handbook

The AYHC Horse Industry Handbook is widely recognized as the gold standard resource for reliable information on equine care and management. Called “encyclopedic” by many of its satisfied users, the book’s value is further enhanced by a regular update process that keeps the content current and meaningful. Ongoing reviews are by experts who volunteer their expertise to replace out-dated information, fill information gaps, and ensure that the reference provides the most recent information.

The 2011 update has just been released. It specifically addresses chapters on managing equine health, equine nutrition and feeding, and horse businesses. There are 41 updated or new articles in the 235 page update.

The AYHC Horse Industry Handbook, the 2011 HIH Update, the AYHC Youth Leaders Manual and other AYHC publications are available at www.HorseBooksEtc.com . Proceeds from sale of all AYHC publications help fund the programs of the American Youth Horse Council to ensure a vibrant future for the horse industry.

The American Youth Horse Council mission is to provide encouragement, communication, leadership & resources to serve and promote the youth horse industry; AYHC carries out its mission in a widespread network of academic, breed, commercial, scientific and other industry representatives who share a common interest in “connecting kids through horses.” The 35^th annual AYHC Symposium, March 23-25 inHerndon, VA, offers participants a rich array of seminars and demonstrations and plenty of networking opportunities; anyone may attend.
