Customer Reviews: Read 2 more reviews... Horse Housing September 12, 2005 6 out of 6 found this review helpful This is the best book on the subject that I've seen. The topic is presented in a professional way so that an amature builder can understand. It's accompanied by color photos and simple professionally drafted diagrams. I would recommend this reference to anyone. Positively - A Pragmatic, Professional Resource April 16, 2003 19 out of 23 found this review helpful Horse Housing provides pragmatic advice on building and remodeling barns and sheds. This is a first rate publication offering the reader wonderful photographs and easy-to-understand illustrations combined with top notch writing by wordsmiths, Richard Klimesh and Cherry Hill. As a Texas State Certified General Appraiser of real estate since 1977, including rural properties, I need to be up-to-date regarding the details of what constitutes well-constructed horse facilities. This excellent book is a professional resource that facilitates a more precise completion of my assignments. Positively, this book belongs on your shelf when you start your next stable, barn or shed project! I'm Not Just Horsing Around! April 15, 2003 15 out of 17 found this review helpful As a State Certified Texas General Real Estate Appraiser, I have had the opportunity to view improvements such as barns and stables on numerous rural properties. "Horse Housing" is an excellent resource for rural appraisers. I'm not just "horsing around" when I say that if owners of some of the properties I've viewed had utilized tips in this book during their construction project they could have built a superior instead of poor or average structure . Texas is home to more than 1 million horses, about 15% of the total U.S. horse population. However, while people tend to picture horses in rural settings, the counties with the largest numbers of horses are in metropolitan Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio. So this book's guidance on zoning, building codes, and ideas for building an attractive/functional structure that is homogenous to an urban neighborhood is vital to a property owner/investor. It sounds like the reviewer from Michigan should have contacted her local Home Depot or lumberyard for advice on building stalls rather than expect detailed instructions in "Horse Housing." Horse Housing....GREAT!!!! April 13, 2003 7 out of 7 found this review helpful I actually received this book as a gift and found it to be WONDERFUL and also very helpful! It answered all of the questions that I had running through my mind and also answered some that I had not even thought of! I would definitely recommend this book no matter what! the horse barn bible April 11, 2003 16 out of 17 found this review helpful If you are going to build or remodel a horse barn the right way, so it functions correctly and lasts, this is the book to buy. good construction and functionality are key to making anything work, and it is obvious that this author builder isn't just a weekend trailrider. his co author's books occupy an entire shelf of my library. this book is written by equine professionals, and contain solid wisdom from a lifetime of experience. the layouts are designed for the horses AND the owners, and to withstand the rigors of country lifestyle. i recently saw one of the authors barns with over 3 feet of heavy snow on its roof and know them to have withstood incredible windloads. this knowledge of construction and layout could save any potential barn builder or remodeler hundreds of times the cost of this book. it will protect your investment, your horses, and will help you enjoy your equine experience from more than just in the saddle. this book is not only about method and layout, it is about the phiosophy of enjoying the fruits of doing something right.
