Description

This landmark book convincingly synthesizes conventional medical science with manipulative therapy for performance deficit in a context of reverence for the equine athlete.

"If you love horses and are concerned for their well-being get, read, and study this extraordinary volume." -- Dr. Matthew Mackay-Smith, Medical Editor of EQUUS.

In the first part of the book, the authors discuss neuromuscular physiology, anatomy and basic biomechanical concepts. Later they address the horse in athletic competition and resulting stresses and injuries to joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles, and how they may be treated.

An entirely new section has been added to this second edition, which thoroughly covers mobilization and stretching-complemented by 61 new illustrations that make this manual even more invaluable for serious equine caretakers.
