In warm, conversational anecdotes taken from his own practice,
Kelley - an award-winning columnist for The Thoroughbred Times as
well as a practicing vet - writes about horse health care, from
fertility to fractures to foot care. Appealing to the ongoing
reader fascination with vets' lives and experiences, as well as to
horse owners' needs for sound veterinary advice, THE HORSE DOCTOR
IS IN is a medical reference without the endless pages of
unreadable medical-speak. Sound, browsable, practical, and usable,
this book will both be read in armchairs and used in 3 a.m. barn
emergencies.
A broad range of equine health issues is covered in four major
sections: Disease; Lameness; Breeding and Foaling; and Care and
Management (which covers barn safety, stable vices, goats as
companion animals, and more). Each chapter uses a true story to set
up a health scenario, then flows into a practical discussion of
problems, conditions, or diseases. There are chapters on everything
from foaling through equine old age, allowing readers to enjoy the
pleasure of fine narrative storytelling while learning how to
better handle and understand horses. A particularly satisfying
benefit of the book is becoming acquainted with a variety of
interesting horses and their owners.
