Caring for the Horse: a free large-print word search
Caring for the Horse, a free, large-print word search through the quiet rhythms of the stable: the curry, the farrier, and the morning bucket.
About Caring for the Horse
Long before sunrise the stable comes alive, a shake of a feed bucket, the soft thud of hooves shifting in a stall, the sweet smell of fresh straw and hay. Grooming is a daily conversation between horse and handler: the currycomb loosens, the brush sweeps, and a hoof pick clears every stone before the shoes are checked. A good farrier, arriving on a regular schedule, is one of the most trusted people in a horse's life.
