comprehensive and easy to understandFeb 03, 2010
This is a book that all serious horse owners will benefit from. Without being too techincal, the author explains the horse in flowing narrative. Illustrations are also excellent.
Superb Vet BookNov 27, 2009
This is a superb vet book and a great value. Awesome research and information. It's a steal for the price for what you will learn. Along with this book I bought Equine Behavior by Paul McGreevy which is the best book on behavior and training I have ever read. Both of these books are a must for the horseman's library. My only complaint about this book is that the hoof section did not address the barefoot horse and and was focused on shoeing.

Excellent book. A must for horse owners who see their equines as amazing athletes. Really liked the section on conformation!

VERY pleased with this bookSep 20, 2008
I really like the content. I like the photos, I like the way it's written and most of all, I like the fact that I can understand it. I would say that this book belongs on every horse owner's bookshelf as a reference guide.

comprehensive horse careAug 13, 2008
Dr. Loving has done it again with this comprehensive horse owner's "survival' guide. There is nothing left untouched and every horse owner needs to have this book in their library. I read it cover to cover and have dragged it out on many occasions for answers to questions. Dr. Loving converts equine science into lay terms with outstanding photographs illustrating the topic of discussion. I can't thank her enough for her concern for the horse and the years spent compiling this amazing book. I just wish I lived closer to her clinic in Colorado to utilize her vet skills 'hands-on'.
