Comp Trail Books?

I have recently joined this list, and although my primary
interest is Competetive Trail as opposed to endurance, I've
found all the discussions very informative. There are obviously
a lot of knowledgeable riders and caring horsepeople on this list.

I'm wondering if any of you have recommendations for books
about Competetive Trail riding, or perhaps Magazines.

I have been breeding and Training Arabians for the past 12 years
and have started competing in Competetive Trail rides in the last
4 years. I would like to be better informed about conditioning
and health issues. I've done well in the few rides I've been in,
but I feel like I've reached the limits of my knowledge.
I would like to compete in longer, or multi-day rides and feel I
need more information in order to do this in a way that is safe
and fun for my horse. In addition to reading this list, I thought
I could increase my knowledge from some books or magazines.

Any & all suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
