I am a horse owner, have been for years, and I thought that this would be a great reference book. However, it seems that whenever I need to do research on something specific, the information is either not in the book, contrary to what my vet has said, or just isn't helpful. Look up "cribbing"- a passing mention of "cording of the neck muscles that results when he forces air into his stomach." Period. No possible causation, no mention of diet, suggestions to alleviate, the latest research, nothing. Look up "Deworming"- you get photos of the nasty critters that may inhabit your horses digestive system, and some suggestions about how to handle them. I was looking for information on the latest info on ivermectin resistance, rotation schedules, etc., and that wasn't there. I also couldn't find a chart of the entire skeletal system. There are drawings and photos of all sorts of conditions and pieces/parts of anatomy that may be helpful at some point, but so far, this book is rather disappointing.
I own/operate a small breeding/showing operation that usually has 20-25 horse at one time. I have always had an intrest in veterinary medicine and have tried to educate myself to a level of competency to which I can treat most of the issues that arise. I found this book to be the best of the six vet reference books that I own. Whenever I have an issue, this is where I turn first. It is extremely well organized and the amount of information and detail is tremendous. It has helped me with difficult diagnosis and treatment. I would highly recommend this book to every horse owner.
I got this for my friend who will be starting vet school in the fall, and she loved it! She's the horse expert though, not me so I can't comment on the quality of the information within it.
It came in the day after Mother's Day, but my wife still loved it. I'd been wanting to get this for her for a while. It is very well put together. We've lent other horse books of ours out to our friends, only to wait a while to get them back, she said this one isn't going anywhere.
What a great purchase. This is a detailed reference book for anyone wishing to better understand the anatomy and function of their horse.
I found this to be a good reference. It is one of the most updated, has a lot of good pictures and illustrations. The price is right.
Good to have as part of your equine library. Not the kind of book you can read from cover to cover
Very good book for any horse owner, or someone involved with horses, to own
