love Jessica Jahiel. I think she is an incredibly knowledgable horse person and I enjoy reading her responses because they make sense. However, this was not my favorite of her books because it seemed like many of the same questions and answers were repeated over and over. I will keep it as a reference, at least for the time being.

Great little reference book. A compilation of letters in an advice column style. Well organized. I picked it up in a little Vermont country book store and didn't expect to find it as useful as I have.

Annoying how some of the answers were repeated a few times.
