I wish I'd had this book years ago..... - By: Jo Coleman, 03 Nov 2005 
because I would never have bought a horse if I knew so many things could go wrong! Very informative & acurate, plenty of handy hints & tips, methods of treatment & chances of recovery all discussed. Found it very useful, a book to share with horsey pals.
From colic to COPD this manual covers it all - By: , 31 Dec 2001 
This book has to be an essential part of any horse owners library. It covers almost all known diseases & illnesses that horses may suffer, & gives clear, concise information relating to each individual case.
It is a fabulous source of reference, with an A-Z of diseases section, & also another index listed anatomically, with excellent illustrations. Each problem is firstly given a symptoms then diagnosis then finally a treatment.
There is an extremely useful first aid chapter which describes how to treat a variety of wounds, which could prove invalublein an emergency.
Other chapters cover general care of the horses health, & there are several outstanding illustrations of the equine digestive, nervous, & musculature systems.......a real education at any standard.
