There are 15 chapters in this erudite and very comprehensive book. The authors have had in mind a wide readership of veterinarians, equine scientists, academics, professionals in various horse industries, amateur/lay horse people, students and, indeed, anyone with a sincere interest in understanding horses better, learning about current research findings and their application in practice, and reading the information presented in language they can understand. This book is a godsend to horses and caring, curious horse people everywhere. I enjoyed it immensely, learned a great deal from it – and I do try to keep up to date, anyway – and I recommend it to the whole horse world unreservedly.
