Horse Owner's Veterinary Handbook

Looks like very informative. Let's read!

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!

I've wanted this book for a long time. The price was right!! Great book for any horse owner.

The perfect amount of information and detail. I have learned so much

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itself covers just about everything involving equine health and disease (so many new things come up it's bound to be outdated someday, but not now).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.

Great book. Anytime i have a problem or medical issue with my horse, i can find an answer (that i can understand and follow) in this book. It has a lot of pictures in case you need to see what you are dealing with. Becareful flipping thru the book b/c some of the pictures of the illements they address can make your stomach turn. They don't hold back information. Which is one of the reason's i like this book. If you own a horse and are not close to a vet, i highly recommend this book, it could save you a lot of money at the vet and save your horses life.

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

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.

Wonderful book, so informative my Granddaughter loves it 😀

This book has been around for years, it was recommended to me by other equestrians. It is full of helpful information that will assist you in an emergency situation, understand signs & symptoms of common ailments. I love this book! So happy I bought it!

Comprehensive

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.
