The definitive guide to individualized equine management based on
the horse's personality and body type. Dr. Ina Goesmeier leads the
horse world in her area of specialization. A classically trained
veterinarian, she supports her Western medical practice with
knowledge gained through the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM). This handbook provides a basic introduction to the guiding
principle of determining a horse's type before making decisions
about handling, care, training, or treatment. According to TCM
there are five horse types, assignments that are based not only on
the horse's behavior, but on his build and body conformation, as
well as diagnosis of his tongue and pulse. By determing the horse's
type, you learn: How to understand and partner with each individual
equine in the best ways possible. Appropriate choices related to
training and handling techniques. Insight related to how a horse
travels and what can keep him comfortable and healthy on the road.
Why one horse learns quickly, why one always needs more rest, why
another needs to be motivated with variety, and why some are fine
alone while others need a friend at their side. A TCM type
description helps the horse owner and rider assess the horse more
accurately, promote the horse's training and well-being in a
targeted manner, and troubleshoot existing and potential
rideability problems. This book shares 11 case studies of horse
types "in harmony" and "in disharmony" to demonstrate how the five
horse types can be applied on day-to-day basis as well when
treatment for injury or illness is necessary. Basic instructions
for DIY acupressure and herbal therapy for health maintenance over
the long term are also included.
This is an expanded and updated edition of a bestselling book. The
author, a world leader in equine anatomy and imaging, and a horse
physiotherapist of international repute, provides a unique blend of
basic biomechanics and practical physical therapeutic techniques,
to relieve pain and improve performance, particularly in the
sporting horse. The new edition has been restructured with a new
chapter on mobiliisation and stretching, along with 61 new
illustrations. This highly original book will be of interest to all
those involved in equine welfare including veterinary
practitioners, veterinary students, therapists, horse owners,
riders and trainers.

Horses perceive the world differently from humans because their
senses developed differently through evolution to cope with
different ways of living and surviving. Horses are essentially
prey/flight animals. The horse's senses therefore determine how the
world appears to him and how he reacts to it. As the horse's
perception and understanding are very different to ours sometimes
their reaction to events and their surroundings seem strange to us.
In this book the author compares the horses sensory organs with
those of humans to avoid misunderstandings as lack of knowledge can
lead to many problems when dealing with horses. The five senses are
covered in this book: hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. Each
section explains how the horses' sense works and then this is
related to care, behavior and riding, explaining why some practices
are appropriate and why some are not. The behavioral aspect of
dealing with horses is emphasized throughout. The author is founder
of the Equine Behaviour Forum and author of over 40 books on equine
topics. She has an HNC in Equine Sciences and Management, is a
Classical Riding Club Gold Award Holder and classical trainer, an
equine shiatsu practitioner, and an Associate Member of the
International Society for Equitation Science. This book is useful
for all horse owners, horse breeders and trainers who wish to gain
a better understanding of how the horse's senses function, and for
veterinary students and practitioners.

Cherry Hill, America's most trusted equine expert, teams up with
Richard Klimesh, a professional farrier and her frequent writing
partner, to address the twin topics of hoof care and horseshoeing.
Proper hoof care is one of the most important contributors to a
horse's health and well-being. Without sound, well-maintained
hooves, an otherwise healthy horse can become lethargic, grouchy,
and sullen. With healthy hooves, a horse's noble personality
shines.
"Horse Hoof Care" covers what every horse owner needs to know
about this critical key to a horse's overall health and
performance. Hill and Klimesh explain the anatomy of the hoof, the
role of the farrier, and all the principles of good care and
maintenance. They also address the ongoing debate on whether or not
to shoe and how to proceed with either choice. From addressing gait
problems to training a horse for shoeing, and from feeding a
balanced diet to performing daily hoof checks, if it affects horse
foot health, it's covered here.
As with many aspects of horse care, daily routines and consistent
treatment can prevent future problems, but even with the best care,
horses may develop foot ailments. Readers will find comprehensive
coverage of lost shoes, hoof cracks, thrush, clubfoot, contracted
heels, and many other common problems, along with advice on
treatment. A complete chapter on issues that require a veterinarian
tells readers exactly what to look for and how to proceed.
"Horse Hoof Care" is the fifth book in Cherry Hill's Horsekeeping
Skills Library, dedicated to giving horse owners the information
they need to care for horses in every situation.
Many horses will, at some point during their lives, suffer hoof
problems which, in extreme cases, can cause permanent lameness. So
why should outstandingly healthy, hardworking feet be a relative
rarity? Performance Hoof, Performance Horse explores the idea that,
given the right conditions, healthy hooves are not difficult to
maintain and neither do they need much in the way of human
intervention, and that the unshod or 'barefoot' horse can be tough,
strong and sure-footed. The book offers practical advice on how
best to work with a horse with compromised feet in terms of
nutrition, surfaces and exercise in order to restore its hooves to
optimum condition. Topics covered include: assessing hooves and
hoof balance; the pros and cons of trimming; fixing problem feet
and, finally, developing stronger hooves.
There are many books and DVDs devoted to the technical training of
horse and rider - how to perform movements correctly, clear
obstacles, communicate efficiently, and in other ways attain the
idealised image of an athletic partnership that results in
competitive success. But this book is different: its focus is how
the rider and trainer can make it easier for the horse to perform
optimally. This includes improved understanding of what are
reasonable expectations for a particular horse at a certain level
of schooling, how to improve his fitness (including strength and
conditioning), as well as background on how injuries may develop as
a result of interaction between internal and external factors, such
as genetics, conformation, management, and training. Relying on her
veterinary background, in-depth research, and dozens of interviews
with top riders and trainers from around the world - including
Beezie Madden, Carl Hester, and Pippa Funnell, to name just a few -
Lonnell provides guidelines for nurturing a happy, healthy equine
athlete. With special focus on conscientious pacing when building
the horse's physical capability over time, diversification of
schooling practices, detail-oriented management and care, and
putting the horse's needs above competitive ambition, readers are
given a solid grasp of what it takes to truly reach the pinnacle of
equestrian sport - and remain there - on a consistent basis.
Throughout, gorgeous colour photographs of world-class horses and
the people who work with them visually demonstrate the success of
these methods.

Helping you to apply many different diagnostic tools, Diagnosis and
Management of Lameness in the Horse, 2nd Edition explores both
traditional treatments and alternative therapies for conditions
that can cause gait abnormalities in horses. Written by an
international team of authors led by Mike Ross and Sue Dyson, this
resource describes equine sporting activities and specific lameness
conditions in major sport horse types. It emphasizes accurate and
systematic observation and clinical examination, with in-depth
descriptions of diagnostic analgesia, radiography, ultrasonography,
nuclear scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed
tomography, thermography, and surgical endoscopy. Broader in scope
than any other book of its kind, this edition includes a companion
website with 47 narrated video clips demonstrating common forelimb
and hindlimb lameness as well as gait abnormalities. Cutting-edge
information on diagnostic application for computed tomography and
magnetic resonance imaging includes the most comprehensive section
available on MRI in the live horse. Coverage of traditional
treatment modalities also includes many aspects of alternative
therapy, with a practical and realistic perspective on prognosis.
An examination of the various types of horses used in sports
describes the lameness conditions to which each horse type is
particularly prone, as well as differences in prognosis. Guidelines
on how to proceed when a diagnosis cannot easily be reached help
you manage conditions when faced with the limitations of current
diagnostic capabilities. Clinical examination and diagnostic
analgesia are given a special emphasis. Practical, hands-on
information covers a wide range of horse types from around the
world. A global perspective is provided by a team of international
authors, editors, and contributors. A full-color insert shows
thermography images. Updated chapters include the most current
information on topics such as MRI, foot pain, stem cell therapy,
and shock wave treatment. Two new chapters include The Biomechanics
of the Equine Limb and its Effect on Lameness and Clinical Use of
Stem Cells, Marrow Components, and Other Growth Factors. The
chapter on the hock has been expanded substantially, and the
section on lameness associated with the foot has been completely
rewritten to include state-of-the-art information based on what has
been learned from MRI. Many new figures appear throughout the book.
A companion website includes 47 narrated video clips of gait
abnormalities, including typical common syndromes as well as rarer
and atypical manifestations of lameness and neurological
dysfunction, with commentary by author/editors Mike Ross and Sue
Dyson. References on the companion website are linked to the
original abstracts on PubMed.
