Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Comprehensive but superficial Years ago when I lived in the UK I had a similar book to this. Sadly I forget the title, but the size and scope were at first glance similar, and I purchased Horse Owner's Veterinary Handbook in hope of replacing that very book. Unfortunately, a deeper delve into this book reveals that it is surprisingly superficial. In my experience one could write an entire book on equine lameness, but the primary section on lameness is short, and the book does a poor job of cross-referencing to the multiple other sections where aspects of lameness are touched upon. I was particularly interested to get a detailed consideration of lymphangitis and laminitis, but the first was hardly mentioned and for the second I learned less here than using a google search. I am sure I will dip into the book in the future as the many horses I know manage to hurt themselves in new and creative ways, but I doubt that will be the end of my research, especially if my own horse is involved. Its OK as a quick reference but don't expect much more, and for me the systems based layout is not conducive to finding what you need. Excellent reference book. Would highly recommend. Excellent reference book. Would highly recomment if you own a horse. Easy to find information and understand. Highly effective if you'd like to understand symptoms your horse may have or further detail on an existing condition. Excellent is the best word to describe. Very Handy Reference Book We purchased this book several years ago and it has really come in handy over the years. Very helpful, thorough, well laid out, and easy to understand with good photography. Would recommend for any horse owner whether or not you do your own doctoring. Excellent Info Source for Every Equestrian! This book is a treasure! The information is presented in lay terms that makes the material readable, understandable, and most valuable as a result. Every equestrian or backyard horse owner should have one to refer to so they can help their horse/mule/pony until the vet arrives, if needed. Knowing what to look for is paramount and this book provides the guidance to do so! Fabulous! Just as was the case for the feline and canine versions of this handbook, the equine version is a veritable encyclopedia of information. A horse owner would be hard pressed to come up with a disease or condition not found in this book. The sections are well organized and easy to understand. What a fabulous reference for any horse lover to have on hand. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
