Back to Work provides a foundational plan for returning a horse to
work after an injury or extended time-off. Some of the industry's
top veterinarians explain several of equestrian sport's more common
surgeries, injuries, and illnesses and then provide a practical
guide to the basic steps one should take when bringing a horse back
to work. Readers are then inspired by true stories of riders and
horses from various equestrian disciplines, injuries, climates, and
ages, as they share tips and advice on what did and did not work
for them. Additional riders who have succeeded in rehabbing horses
join other equine experts in a special chapter featuring
recommended tips, therapies, and treatments. Finally, an inspiring
group of stories explains riders' struggles to get back in the
saddle after their own injury or illness, including the
frustrations and challenges they faced, and the successes they
ultimately experienced. Readers will not only find valuable
practical information for specific rehab scenarios (both horse and
human), they will also find inspiration for their daily equestrian
lives.

Harry Faibish studied under Egon von Neindorff, Nuno Oliveira and
Hans Reigler and has worked in Europe and the USA at highly
prestigious stud farms, training centres and competition yards.
While he has vast experience of working with horses of different
breeds and types in all stages of their development, his chief love
is helping to rehabilitate horses who have been disadvantaged,
mentally or physically, by inadequate or inappropriate handling. In
"Healing Horses the Classical Way", he explains why riding and
training rooted in the classical tradition is the only sure way to
prevent such problems developing and how, if they are inherited
from previous handlers, it can remedy serious and ingrained
problems. These ideas are illustrated by a number of detailed case
histories from the author's own work. The case histories are
supported by a brief autobiography and a section in which the
author reiterates ideas and practices which lie at the foundation
of classical riding. "Healing Horses the Classical Way" will be of
great value to those involved in remedial training. It also
highlights the dangers inherent in 'quick-fixes' and provides
valuable guidance for all who wish to train their horses along
correct, progressive lines.

Equine anatomical structure and terminology is universally regarded
as one of the most difficult aspects of equine studies. Equine
students have long been familiar with Goody's Horse Anatomy: The
Pictorial Approach to Equine Structure, a textbook used in equine
colleges all over the world. Now, based on this classic work,
talented equestrian artist, Maggie Raynor, has prepared a workbook
designed to make learning not only easier, but a lot more fun.
Students are asked to label or colour various parts of the equine
body in a succession of exercises covering every part of the horse
and every aspect of its structure, from the skeleton to the outer
surfaces. A natural stable mate to Horse Anatomy, The Horse Anatomy
Workbook will assist a new generation of students to familiarize
themselves with equine structure and terminology.

Training as an RAF pilot in the smoke and bustle of wartime London
is a far cry from James Herriot's day job as a country vet in the
Yorkshire Dales. And whilst he is keen to serve King and country,
James cannot help but miss his life in Darrowby - despite frequent
arguments between his colleagues Siegfried and Tristan,
bad-tempered cattle, opinionated farmers and the continuing saga of
Cedric the flatulent dog. But most of all he misses his wife Helen;
pregnant with their first child. The question constantly hanging
over them is - will he be going to war? And when will he get to go
home? Since they were first published, James Herriot's memoirs have
sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers.
