1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best book I picked up on health care for horses., January 14, 2001

I have read several books on health care for horses and find that this book is way below par on all of the health problems that a horse can have. Like take for example, laminitis, this is a killer of horses and yet there is not a full page dedicated to this hoof problem, like how to notice the slightest sign of laminitis. The only other book I recommand from this author is A-Z of Horse Diseases and Health Problems: Signs, Diagnoses, Causes, Treatment. That one is the best as it shows what you need to really look for. He did a really good job on that one. This one just pass up as it's not the best.

I found this book to be extremely informitive and well written. It has expanded my knowledge of the equine considerably and would make a great gift for any horse lover. I congradulate the auther on a job very well done, and look forward to seeing his books in the future.
