Great book
This book was way more informative and relevant than I expected. It is a good investment for any horse owner.

So much info!!
This is one of the best veterinary books I have read so far. There is so much information and itâs very in-depth. I am on the pre-vet track so it is nice to find / have a book that has so much info and actually explains the science behind everything rather than just another âgeneral horse careâ book.

Best Book for Horse People
I am a senior in college studying Equine Science. This book was recommended by my professor, who is also an equine vet, to be a great resource. Although it wasn’t required for the class, I took a chance and bought it. Not only has it help me with that one class, but I use it all the time for my other classes! It is organized so nicely, has so much practical information, it doesn’t have overwhelming vocabulary, and it’s not too hard to read. I love this book and it has so much useful information.

Handy reference
I bought this item used and when I received it, it was like-new so I’m pleased with that. The book itself covers just about everything involving equine health and disease (so many new things come up it’s bound to be outdated someday, but not now). I couldn’t find “osselets” on the inside-cover index but it is addressed, and the authors speak in plain language which is very helpful. I do recommend this book for horse owners, especially new ones.

The most important book you will ever buy…
A horse can die as fast as a kitten. Shocking news for every first time horse owner who finds a dead horse in a stall or backyard and THEN calls the vet. This wonderful book teaches you how to take a pulse, analyze colic, worm, stand a foundering horse in a cold brook, and what medications to have on hand so your vet can reach the horse before it is too late. This is not a “treat it yourself” book. It makes you a knowledgeable owner so that when calling a vet, you have the medications he suggests ready to administer while he is on his way. That “golden hour” exists for horses just as much as it does for humans. There are only a handful of medications for horses, but knowing when to give them and why, makes you an informed horse owner. KNOW YOUR HORSE if you want to keep him alive. Own and read this book before you even BUY a horse. If I ever wrote a book, it would be called “Horses are not Dogs.” They think differently are herd animals, etc. etc. Know what you are getting into before you unintentionally kill your first horse. Buy and read this book!

Good book for a beginner to learn about horses.
Book has the major horse breeds and some history about each. Great for young people wanting to learn about horses.

Must have!
I just got this bookâ¦oh my! Iâm excited to read all the sections. It is written so that anyone, on any level, of horse ownership can understand. The explanation of each section is great. And Iâve only skimmed through the first chapter. Do yourself and your horse a favor and buy this book! Ride on â¤ï¸Update: I have started reading different sections of this book. They have left nothing out. They direct you where to go to read different information in different parts of the book. Amazing job! Love it more.

This book is brilliant if u want to be able to pick up a vet book and understand its content. Clearly written and easy to read and good use of pictures. Would recomend this book to anyone who owns a horse and needs it explained in simple terms without to much jargon.
