A must for anyone who owns a horse.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals (Hardcover)
This book is a must for any horse owner. It is full of information written in laymans terms. Whether you are a veterinary student or just a new horse owner, you can literally see why your horse moves the way he does, why his body works the way that it does, and why he even behaves the way that he does. There is so much information about other farm animals also...dogs, goats, cows, deer, etc.A great guide to understanding what your vet is talking about also. This book will never be out dated!
