4.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Was Looking For, April 28, 2001
By A Customer
Mike Scott's guide provides an ideal overview for the horse owner/enthusiast interested in learning about equine massage. The book is very well organized and surprisingly easy to read. It introduces the layperson to how muscles work and discusses the importance of learning about horse anatomy. It moves on to various massage techniques and strokes before describing a massage session. It then contains a very helpful section consisting of anatomical line drawings of "active points" to be worked accompanied by black and white photographs demonstrating the techniques. Mike also includes helpful sections on stretches for your horse and saddle fitting.

As good as the book is, I found it could have benefitted from more extensive photo selection and diligent proofreading. The photos that were included were extremely useful; however, I found it somewhat frustrating that some photos were repeated when other angles or shots would have helped. Most of the captions are also appropriately descriptive, but there are others that could have been a bit more specific (particularly when identifying which muscles were being worked). Finally, there are more than a mere handful of grammatical, typographical, and punctuation errors. While the lack of care to cure these errors certainly had me wonder if there was a similar lack of care about the substance, all in all, I do recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to follow, April 1, 1999
By A Customer
This book is an easy to follow guide that has helped me with my horse immensely. The massage techniques are very informative and easy to follow but the other sections on follow up exercises and saddle fit have been a great help as well. I look forward to Mike Scotts next book!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Easy to Follow, June 29, 1998
By A Customer
This book shows the basics on horse massage, a topic not often written about. With the great illustrations and photos, this is a practical and easy to follow book. The spiral bound element is also great for on the location barn use. It is easy to keep the page where you want it to be. I highly recomend this book to anyone who is serious about their horses. A must have.
