A new book by New Zealand equestrian figures, Kelly and Amanda Wilson, came out recently. The sister duo have set about giving directions to riders and owners for the well-being of horses. In today’s equestrian world, taking care of horses has gained a lot of attention, especially after several euthanization horror stories. The Wilson sisters have recognized the global need for improved horse welfare and so, they described their book as a “love letter to the horse”.

The Wilsons acknowledge that the journey with horses is constantly developing, and today’s methods of training may differ from tomorrow’s. Their new guide is designed to address everything a horse needs. According to them, the manual should change the perception of horse owners to enhance their horses’ lives.

In the wake of several months filled with euthanization within the equestrian community, the duo decided to pen down their knowledge in the bookThe Wilson Sisters? Horse and Pony Guide: The Essential Handbook for Riders of All Ages.
