Five stars is not nearly enough for this beautiful contribution to equine bodywork. While the book is not for beginners, neither should hands-on practitioners shy away from the book simply because they are not osteopathic veterinary surgeons. The massage therapist familiar with positional release and cranial-sacral techniques, willing to learn a bit of equine anatomy, and experienced with horses will find the book fabulously enlightening. There is simply not enough I can say about the gift this book is.
