Description
This unique resource provides the most up-to-date, in-depth coverage of the basic and clinical sciences required for management of the
equine athlete. The unique treatment of exercise physiology and training within a clinical context, together with a detailed review of
all diseases affecting athletic horses, makes this the most comprehensive text available. Provides a thorough grounding in the basic
physiology of each body system, and in particular the responses of each body system to exercise and training. The internationally renowned
team of contributors has created the ultimate reference for veterinarians, students, horse-owners, and all those involved in the world
of equine athletics.
Audience
Final year students, and equine practitioners, both specialist surgeons and general practitioners. As with all our equine titles we expect
particularly strong sales to a secondary market of trainers, breeders, and owners - possibly more than usual given the sports perspective.
Agencies responsible for the regulation of drugs, medication, transportation, preventative medicine and quarantine of horses will also
find it indispensable.
