A fantastic book. Easy to read even for the person who has not studied equine science or veterinary. For anyone studying equine science, they should not be without it.

This is a must have for any horse owners that want to understand and help the animals they love. I first came across the book on my way to The British Racing School; every ailment and illness that I had never heard of I looked up in this book as it came up. This book is simply "the horse-owners' bible"!
It's a shame you can't award 6 stars.... August 11, 2006

This should be on the shelf of every single horse owner in the country. A complete guide to symptoms, causes and treatments of common and not-so-common equine vetinary medicine. The writing is clear and concise without being over simplistic, and there is enough detail to provide information at a deeper level. I'm a doctor so have a fair background knowledge, but this rarely leaves you needing more info than is offered. It's a fairly hefty tome, but thoughtfully arranged in logical sections and well indexed. Also, it's updated on a regular basis, with each of the chapters being written by leading experts in that particular field, so you know that the information you're getting is spot on.
Cannot recommend this book enough!

This book is wonderfully free of jargon, making it easy and interesting for the average horseowner to follow. It is a great reference book, which although cannot replace your vet, can give you a great insight into what might be wrong (or right) with your horse, what to look out for, and what to do in an emergency. Really interesting, well indexed, and easy to get around. I couldn't do without it.

An absolute must for anyone interested in horses this book contains a huge amount of information and despite having been first published along time ago it has been constantly updated and revised. It has clear concise details and easy to understand diagrams - a gold mine of information you'll be referring to more than you think.
