Fitting Tack
by Toni Mcallister Jean AbernethyHorse owners need a ton of knowledge and tools to keep hayseed-size problems from ballooning into haystack-size ones. Each book in the Horse Illustrated Simple Solutions series zeroes in on a common problem faced by horse owners and is the perfect fast-reading source of answers for every horse lover. For example, a cranky, poorly behaving horse may just be saying, in the only way he can, "Ouch! That hurts!"-a problem that may be found in a chafing saddle or too-tight bridle. And grooming your horse not only promotes her health and well-being but also mimics the mutual grooming behavior of horses in the wild and so helps create a bond between the horse and her groomer. More problems are solved in this new series!

Five Fat Hens: A Guide for Keeping Chickens and Enjoying Delicious Meals
by Tim HalketA love of eating and of good ingredients led Tim to build a henhouse in the corner of his garden for a daily harvest of fresh eggs. His take on the role of keeping chickens is amusing and insightful, but this book is more than just a DIY guide to keeping a few free-range birds, or a new slant on a chicken-themed cookbook. Much in the style of Nigel Slater’s Kitchen Diaries, it takes the reader through an entire year, month-by-month, skillfully combining the author’s passion for cooking in diary form interwoven with his recipes, thoughts, and observations and with the premise that even the smallest garden can be home to a supply of the freshest eggs imaginable.Tim Halket is neither a trained chef nor a smallholding farmer; his recipes draw on his real-life experience in the kitchen where he reproduces food that he enjoys cooking on a daily basis for his family and friends. He ranges from the highly original such as Duelos y Quebrantos and Persian Chicken Supper through variations on everyday Italian or French classics to simple and comforting nursery food.This timely book passionately describes an appealing style of life and will inspire food lovers whether they intend to keep chickens or not.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We’ve been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
