Product Description
Horse riders, horse lovers, equestrians everywhere will enjoy this new book from our favorite colorful chiropractor, Dr. Daniel Kamen. Here in his latest animal chiropractic book Dr. Dan explains how any horse owner or stable keeper can take proper care of their animal. These animals are the equine version of a highly trained athlete, he says, and like any athlete they are susceptible to injury. Whether the patient is human or animal, the basic chiropractic technique—manipulating the spine to return misaligned bones—is the same. Kamen says, "If it has a spine, I can work on it." With the aid of a step ladder for height, and a few easy to follow techniques you can learn how to give your animal the proper care he needs to keep him on track. Dr. Kamen has treated racehorses he says, for what he terms, "a nagging backache." With his trademark humor, highly entertaining stories about his adventures as an animal chiropractor, Dr. Kamen has again delivered a book that will be delight to equestrians. A wonderful giftbook for horse-lovers. So ... Happy trails!

5.0 out of 5 stars User - Friendly Handbook, August 15, 2001

By A Customer

I found the book easy to follow and understand for the layman. The author did not talk over my head. The step by step procedures made sure you were comfortable at each step before you actually performed the various adjustments. If one did not feel comfortable adjusting their own horse, at the least the book made a more informed horse owner when you talk to your chiropractor and made the whole process less mysterious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps you to care for your horse, April 11, 2001

By A Customer

This is excellent. Clear diagrams and explanations. It is aimed at the non-chiropractor, so techniques are described from that perspective, but is excellent for Chiropractors too. A good summary of the basic anatomy and a very practical book. The techniques work, too!

4.0 out of 5 stars it's great but alittle technical..., August 17, 2005

By	K. Slate - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i LOVED reading this book, but it was a little technical at times. i am scared enough to try chiropactic treatments on my horse and this, even though it is written very clearly and interestingly, scared me a little. it made me realize that i really needed to understand what i was doing before i tried anything out!
