About the book

This guide explains the most important facts about anatomy in an easy and understandable way and helps the horse owners to communicate with their veterinary surgeons. This is a user-friendly handbook, compact enough to keep around the yard or in the tack box that illustrates in a clear and comprehensive style the basic points of the anatomy of the horse: Why do you need to understand anatomy? Rider & veterinary jargon. What is where? The skeleton. The muscles. The circulation. How does a horse carry its rider? What does a horse need for breathing? What does a horse need for eating? What does a horse need for digestion? The lymph system. Reproductive system. The senses. How does a horse sleep? The author is a practising veterinary surgeon who specialises in equine medicine and owns two horses herself.
* A colourfully illustrated and user-friendly introduction which avoids complex scientific talk and Latin captions.
* 19th title in the Cadmos Horse Guide series - inexpensive full colour illustrated guides for the rider.
