Book SynopsisThe equine hoof is a complex marvel of natural engineering, built to withstand tremendous forces and able to adapt to an astonishing range of environmental conditions. It also changes daily—for better or for worse—in response to external and internal factors. Few horse owners have the opportunity to acquire a deep understanding of the hoof, which limits their ability to advocate on their horses' behalf and make informed decisions about hoof care and management. This book is the first resource of its kind to combine the most current and useful information available, gleaned from the research and wisdom of top hoof experts around the world, with a unique 'hands-on' approach. The authors provide basic terms and anatomy, clearly illustrate the differences between healthy and unhealthy feet, discuss biomechanics and management concerns, and cover the causes, treatments, and prevention of commonly encountered problems, including laminitis, white line disease, and thrush. Along the way, readers are given activities to help them better analyse and understand the most important aspects of equine hoof health, such as hoof balance, depth of sole, and point of breakover. Easy–to–follow language, over 400 full–colour photographs, and do–it–yourself exercises promise to empower horse owners and caretakers of all experience levels with the tools they need to accurately assess hoof health and keep their horses as sound and happy as possible.Trade Review'A great resource for all things hoof-related, The Essential Hoof Book truly is essential to have in any barn.''What I particularly love about this book is that it does not preach one 'right' way to treat hooves instead, The Essential Hoof Book teaches readers how hooves can be managed rather than 'corrected.' The Essential Hoof Book needs to be on every horse owner's bookshelf.''Once you’ve read The Essential Hoof Book, you will have a much deeper understanding of the horse’s hoof and how to keep it healthy and sound in ways you perhaps never thought of—or thought possible.' -- Gene Ovnicek'Hardcover and spiral-bound, which make it delightful to use as a reference book (why are they not all like that?). With such a wide range of useful information, this is the type of book that is a must-have for all hoof care professionals (farriers/trimmers/vets) ...

Book SynopsisLaminitis, a horse-centred approach describes in depth the current mainstream thinking on laminitis and suggests ways of reframing our understanding of this challenging condition. New thinking based on putting the horse at the centre of the problem is presented, allowing a better understanding of the biomechanics of laminitis. The book suggests ways in which damaged feet can recover, and also helps the reader to understand the pathological processes within the horse as a whole that lead to laminitis occurring, starting with an understanding of the horse's innate ability to heal itself and working towards interventions that create an environment that is conducive to healing. The book also explores the concept that laminitis, rather than being a disease in its own right, is merely a symptom of a range of underlying health problems that affect the whole horse.

Book SynopsisThis concise, practical text covers the essential information veterinary students and nurses, new graduates, and practitioners need to succeed in equine medicine, focussing on respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. Written for an international readership, the book conveys the core information in an easily digestible, precise form with extensive use of bullet points, lists, diagrams, protocols, and extensive illustrations (over 300 full-colour, high-quality photographs).Part of a five-book series that extracts and updates key information from Munroeâs Equine Surgery, Reproduction and Medicine, Second Edition, the book distils best practice in a logical straightforward clinically based approach. It details relevant clinical anatomy, physical clinical examination techniques and findings, normal parameters, aetiology/pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, diagnostic techniques, management and treatment, and prognosis. The emphasis is on information tailored to general equine clinicians with just enough on advanced techniques to make the practitioner aware of what is available elsewhere. The respiratory system is split into sections on surgical and medical conditions of the upper and lower respiratory tracts. The gastrointestinal system is divided into the upper tract, including the oral cavity and dentistry, and the lower tract and peritoneal cavity. Ideal for veterinary students and nurses on clinical placements with horses as well as practitioners needing a quick reference âon the groundâ.Trade Review"Veterinary students will love this! I have seen the success of similar books in small animal medicine and how useful they can be on rotations when a quick reference is needed. I think it would equally be of benefit to residents and practitioners needing quick refreshers."Carla Lusi, University of Melbourne, Australia, author of Fascial Anatomy of the Equine Forelimb (CRC Press)"I think this Equine textbook will be exceptionally well received. Although the original book Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction really helped me personally through university, I could only ever use it at my desk or at the library. More concise books allow students and new grads to have them at hand all the time, especially during rotations for quick reference. Leave the 1500 page book at home and take just what they need for the day! Each disease or syndrome has the same layout, allowing a vey quick reference, and the images are amazing. They are good quality and allow very immersive learning."Sophie Neasham, Veterinary surgeon, UK"While the volume Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction, Second Edition is a great resource for reference, say, when wanting to research differential diagnoses for a case or brush up on a disease, it is not practical to be used out in the field. This smaller, more focused reference guide is more amenable to practical day-to-day veterinary use. For example, when out on a call and you need a quick reference on how to treat a specific presentation, having a resource which is concise and targeted is more user friendly than a large volume."Rachael Harmer, Veterinary Medicine student at the University of Surrey (2016-2021), UKTable of ContentsPreface.

Book SynopsisCombining an in-depth exploration of equine behaviour with clinical practice from a new progressive perspective, Equine Behaviour in Practice: Understanding Horses and Treating Behaviour Problems focuses not just on the horseâs behaviour but also on the behaviour of the human interacting with the horse. Acclaimed Clinical Equine Behaviourist Debbie Busby delivers evidence-based knowledge that will equip readers with the understanding and skills to become effective equine behaviour consultants. Supported by considered discussion of how and why horses sometimes struggle to cope, the book comprehensively explains how to consult on and treat a range of equine behaviour problems. Rather than providing a formulaic hereâs the problem; hereâs how to fix it, Busby encourages readers to develop a critical biopsychosocial evaluation based on an understanding of how horses evolved, their ethological and physiological adaptations, how they learn, and how their we

Book SynopsisThe Five Domains of Animal Welfare, when applied to horses, can act as a safe, reliable source of advice and information for conscientious owners, and also a benchmark by which the practices of the more experienced can be measured, scrutinised and held to account. They provide standards to be met rather than levels to be tolerated.This book explains, in accessible, everyday language, how to apply the Five Domains throughout the horse world, whatever type of equine is concerned or whatever role he or she fulfils, from pet to Thoroughbred racehorse, from informal friend and hack to Olympic competitor. The Domains have been expertly devised, carefully constructed and logically categorised so that anyone can find trustworthy advice on just about any problem or issue they are likely to meet in their lives with horses.Looking after a horse properly is an excellent way of preventing problems in the first place, and this book provides reliable information on knowing how to ass

Book SynopsisThe breadth and depth of expertise essential for equine veterinary nursing today is provided in this definitive textbook. Thoroughly revised and updated in its second edition, and now fully illustrated in colour.Trade Review Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE “Karen Coumbe has successfully edited another fantastic book for equine veterinary nurses. It is a must-have book for nurses and practices, or anyone who works with horses, as a primary reference to assist them in their training and subsequent years as registered equine nurses.” (Veterinary Record, 16 February 2014) "This book is essential for anyone nursing in equine practice, either in training or as a qualified equine veterinary nurse. This is the second edition of the book and it has been revised to include further advances in clinical practice, particularly with reference to imaging techniques that have come to the forefront in recent years. I was excited to be asked to review the book and now encourage all my nurses to read it, whether they be first-year trainees covering equine and small animal topics or qualified nurses needing to read up on more advanced procedures. Despite being someone who is easily sidetracked when expected to read dense text, I found myself wanting to read more. The chapters are written by well-respected experts from a variety of clinical backgrounds. The use of coloured pictures, schematic diagrams, tables, sub-headings and highlighted ‘key note’ boxes make information easy to read, understand and absorb. All chapters include a range of suggested further reading for those who wish to enhance their knowledge and understanding further. Chapters on subjects that can be weighty for nurses to learn, such as anatomy and physiology or diagnostic imaging, include plenty of diagrams and photographs to help visualise and understand the dynamics of the subject. Several chapters apply a visual approach to learning. Karen Coumbe has successfully edited another fantastic book for equine veterinary nurses. It is a must-have book for nurses and practices, or anyone who works with horses, as a primary reference to assist them in their training and subsequent years as registered equine nurses."Veterinary Record Table of ContentsList of contributors, vii Foreword, ix Preface to the second edition, x Abbreviations and Acronyms, xi 1 Basic equine management, 1 W.

Book SynopsisBlackwell''s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult Clinical Companion: Equine Theriogenology provides quick access to essential information on common techniques and conditions in equine reproductive practice. Part of the popular Blackwell''s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult series, this resource builds on the reproduction section of Blackwell''s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult: Equine to present expanded theriogenology coverage with clinical photographs. With information ranging from artificial insemination and fetal sexing to parentage testing and vaccination programs, the book offers 158 similarly formatted chapters to help practitioners efficiently manage reproductive health in the mare and stallion and confidently treat fetal and neonatal patients.Trade Review"The alphabetical listing is very useful for quick referencing and avoids the need to use the overcomplicated index. . . As fairy godmothers go she is certainly worth getting to know, and after she grants my first wish and gets a sensible hardback overcoat, she will be a welcome passenger in my car." (Veterinary Record, 18 June 2011) "The information is primarily for practicing veterinarians, but students, owners, and researchers might find it useful as well." (Booknews, 1 June 2011) "The whole format is excellent with photographs and drawings which really help the reader. The depth of coverage is very extensive, covering all the normal topics and including excellent chapters on foal conditions.... I tried a small experiment with referencing a single rare condition, hypocalcaemia. It took me only four minutes to read a full review of the condition. I tried to get the same information on the internet but gave up with only half the story after 12 minutes. My case rests. Buy this book and it will be useful for several years."

Book SynopsisTakes us back to the deep Southwest and the never-a-dull-moment years the author spent as a practicing horse doctor along the Pecos and the Rio Grande. This book tells the tales of his struggles with mean stockmen, yellowweed fever, banditos, poison hay, and 'drouth'.Trade Review“Ben Green has won the approval of the sternest literary critics I know—ranch cowboys. In old Doc’s books, they recognize a man who knew horses and cattle to the bone and could tell about them with honest prose and a sly cowboy sense of humor. I’ve read them all, as have most of the cowboys I know.”—John R. Erickson, rancher and author of the Hank the Cowdog series

Book SynopsisThis concise, practical text covers the essential information veterinary students, new graduates and practitioners need to succeed in equine practice, focussing on lameness. Written for an international readership, the book conveys the core information in an easily digestible, precise form with extensive use of bullet-points, lists, diagrams, protocols and extensive illustration (over 650 full colour, high quality photographs).Part of a five-book series that extracts and updates key information from Munroe's Equine Surgery, Reproduction and Medicine, Second Edition, the book distils best practice in a logical straightforward clinical-based approach. It details clinical anatomy, physical clinical examination techniques, diagnostic techniques and normal parameters, emphasising the things regularly available to general practitioners with minimal information of advanced techniques. The clinical information is split into anatomy-based sections.Ideal for veterinary Trade Review"Veterinary students would love this! I have seen the success of similar books in small animal medicine and how useful they can be on rotations when a quick reference is needed. I think it would equally be of benefit to residents and practitioners needing quick refreshers."Carla Lusi, University of Melbourne, Australia, author of Fascial Anatomy of the Equine Forelimb (CRC Press)"I think this Equine textbook will be exceptionally well received. Although the original book Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction really helped me personally through university, I could only ever use it at my desk or at the library. More concise books allow students and new grads to have them at hand all the time, especially during rotations for quick reference. Leave the 1500 page book at home and take just what they need for the day! Each disease or syndrome has the same layout, allowing a vey quick reference, and the images are amazing. They are good quality and allow very immersive learning."Sophie Neasham, Veterinary surgeon, UK"While the volume Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction, Second Edition is a great resource for reference, say, when wanting to research differential diagnoses for a case or brush up on a disease, it is not practical to be used out in the field. This smaller, more focused reference guide is more amenable to practical day-to-day veterinary use. For example, when out on a call and you need a quick reference on how to treat a specific presentation, having a resource which is concise and targeted is more user friendly than a large volume."Rachael Harmer, Veterinary Medicine student at the University of Surrey (2016-2021), UK Table of ContentsPreface. 1.
