OverviewAs standards in the world of equestrian competition rise, so demands made on performance horses increase. This unique book, by respected equine vet and author Colin Vogel, brings together the four most important aspects of the veterinary care of the competition horse. He gives facts on correct feeding, helps owners choose the best training methods, and provides for the first time a comprehensive guide to the causes and treatment of all kinds of lameness. He also demonstrates how all kinds of problems can be avoided by practising preventive medicine. The author's gift for explaining complex scientific principles in a way that can be understood easily means that this book will be the competitor's first point of reference.
