Description
Book SynopsisMany students have only a limited knowledge of biology before starting a variety of equine courses, from BHS stages to National Certificate and Diploma and HND/degree. This title provides the information students of equine subjects require, particularly those without a GCSE or A level in biology. It is also suitable for serious horse owners.
