Purchasing a new copy of Horse Smarts?
If you're purchasing a new copy of Horse Smarts, the 2026 updates are already included, so you do not need to purchase the update packet separately.
 
Horse Smarts was initially published in 2017. Available updates include 2021 and 2026. 
 
We are very excited to present the 2026 Horse Smarts Update. This 258-page update includes updates and additional information in 18 different chapters, the table of contents and the index. In addition to these chapter updates, a NEW chapter on advanced reproductive technologies, “Foal Goals – Breeding with a Boost” has been added to the resource.  As information on evolution, genetics and disease/health guidelines continues to change, the following chapters were rewritten and/or included major updates: A Long Time Ago, Equine Pedicure, An Apple a Day, Equine 911 and 411 and Family Resemblance. We would like to thank all of the equine specialists who shared their expertise with AYHC and made this update possible.
