Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have read and reread this book. I highly suggest that all persons considering buying a horse should read this before they buy and reread it before they put their $$ down and take the horse home. I would have prevented an injury if I had followed Smokies' advise. Very straight forward and common sense advise. Fun to read. I also suggest his other book "Whisper This". Thanks Smokie for your wonderful books.

The follow up to Smokies internationally read book Whisper This..., Equiknowlogy 101... takes a tongue in cheek approach and humorous look at obtaining your degrees in Equiknowlogy...The study of everything horse, (In one easy lifetime lesson)! This study guide....Ok, it's not really a study guide. It's just a bit of drivel about horses, owners and stories that will perhaps make you think, laugh and hopefully better enjoy your horse experience..It will take the reader through virtually, (well just about) everything you can think of when it comes to owning horses, the knowledge required, and some of the bad things that can happen when you are not prepared for it. Working your way up from the PHD, (Pre-horse degree) program, and on to your FHD (First Horse Degree), with step by step help from our staff, you will hopefully learn your lessons from other students of the Equiknowlogy program enrolled in one of the other degree programs. Moving on to your BOH we will take the reader through the realities of horse ownership and hopefully not getting acquainted with the class graduating from Buck Off U. (University), and the You Can't Ride Pretty school for first time horse buyers. The home school study program for hard knocks and reality, and making a lot of contributions to the Foundation for Clinicitis, and the home for unwanted horses and uneducated owners. This study guide is based on true life stories, questions and lessons learned from real people just like you and me. Just everyday folks who have made the ill-advised attempt to get a horse, ride, or do just about anything else you can think of in the equine world, before completing, (or at least getting an good handle on) their studies at Whisper This... College of Equiknowlogy... These lessons are sometimes funny, and sometimes not, but I think you will find them interesting and not something that you will read in your run of the mill horse book! But hopefully what happened to these folks in these studies won't happen you if you take a little time now to do your homework! Now, if your thinking, I all ready know this stuff, so I won't buy it... That's ok! I'm not out to change to horse world or your way of thinking. Just give a little off the cuff advise to folks that might not have $650 bucks to have me help fix their horse after things have gotten out of control. Or the price to pay for that 1200 pound lawn ornament you are about to buy... Or the medical bills and insurance you pay for in the future. Take a read if you like, or not... It's up you. But you just might get a little something from the not so famous folks that know a little something about horses too! Here's hoping you have a great equine experience! Your friend, Smokie.
