Yes, the Endurance Riding Handbook will answer all your questions.
It will probably also raise more questions once you've read it. For
those questions, you've got e-mail.
I don't think there is an "epitome" of reference books for endurance.
My suggestion is to read all you can find, then choose the methods that
work best for you.
It must be cold up there in northern Alberta. Bet you've got lots of
reading time right now:-)
