Dr. Hayes' definitive work is the bible of most professional stables. It's written in an explanatory format, which can be understood by both lay persons and more professional horsemen. Although some of the sections with specific information for British horse operations may not apply to U.S. stables, 90% of the book is about diseases, injuries, sickness, and other horse health concerns. Immunizations and medications are also covered extensively as is breeding and foaling. Rather than just recite what can go wrong and what it looks like, Dr. Hayes makes the explanation a little deeper so horsemen can understand more of the mechanisms of the problem and therefore take more educated steps to prevent it. Don't leave the stable without Veterinary Notes for Horse Owners!

I bought this book last year, and have nearly worn it out!! I am studying towards vet school, and this book is invaluable to me when I work as a vet assistant in an equine hospital. I would reccomend it to people with more than an average interest in equine medicine, and with basic knowlledge of horse anatomy and veterinary terminology.

I received this book as a birthday gift 6 years ago and it has been close at hand ever since! It is helpful for all horse owners from novice to advanced levels of veterinary knowledge.

This book is a must for all horse owners. It is an invaluable reference tool. I bought my first edition of this book 18 years ago, and it is the single most useful book I have ever purchased.

This book has assisted me to understand health issues with my horse and to be able to grasp what trainers and other professionals are talking about. It gives a good basis for helping the horse owner to understand veterinary issues that are or may effect the horse.

The information is well organized, thorough and informative. I have used it to identify and verify situations with my three horses. The photos are great and give you additional info to consider. I would recommend this book to the horse lover who is concerned about her animals health.

This book is beyond words, it is definately a MUST have.
