Customer Reviews

From colic to COPD this manual covers it all
This book has to be an essential part of any horse owners library. It covers almost all known diseases and illnesses that horses may suffer, and gives clear, concise information relating to each individual case.

It is a fabulous source of reference, with an A-Z of diseases section, and 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 invaluble in an emergency.

Other chapters cover general care of the horses health, and there are several outstanding illustrations of the equine digestive, nervous, and musculature systems.......a real education at any standard.

I wish I'd had this book years ago.....
because I would never have bought a horse if I knew so many things could go wrong! Very informative and acurate, plenty of handy hints and tips, methods of treatment and chances of recovery all discussed. Found it very useful, a book to share with horsey pals.

poor.
it is strictly for NEW horse owners. the title is completely misleading, and it`s not complete as it suggests.
