This little book is packed full of all the information you may want to know about horse’s tendons and ligaments. As well as delving into injuries as per the book title, it also explains the structure, mechanics and function of the tendons and ligaments in relation to the rest of the anatomy. There are good chapters on common injuries, diagnosis and treatment, as well as prevention and rehabilitation strategies.

If you find vet speak about tendon and ligament injuries to be clear as mud, this book is a must-have. In addition to being thorough, accurate, and concise, it’s written in layman’s language without being “dumbed down”-it’s targeted for the well-informed, interested, and intelligent horse owner.
