Patton's favorite horse was "Big Red". Big Red was the "riderless horse" in General Patton's funeral procession. That is according to my late father who was an army private at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, in the late 30's and took care of Colonel (at the time) George Patton's horses.

The general care doesnt vary. What you feed your horse varies, no matter what the breed. You have to feed your horse according to its weight, how much work it is getting, temprament, age, weather, etc.
The beginning goals would be mounting, controlling, balance. (Assuming that grooming, saddling and general care are not on the list).
This will depend upon the agreement you work out with the horse's owner. In general, I believe most leasees pay for all veterinary care. As mentioned above, typically a leasee will pay the majority of the bills. however you can have it put into the lease agreement that the care costs are to be split evenly on routine health care. However if the horse was hurt while in your care, it would be your duty to pay for any emergency care that is required. You should also ask the owner if the horse has any Medical or surgical insurance.

there are many books out there on horse care, but i do recommend: -Grooming Horses -Horse facts and Trivia -Injury-free Horse
A horse hander is someone that takes care of the horse.
Care depends on the horse and what you use him for. Daily activities may include mucking out the box/ stall, turning the horse out to pasture and bringing him back in again, rugging him, feeding, watering, grooming, tidying the barn area, worming, riding, exercising in general, going to a show, and many others.
