Horses and Donkeys continue to be important to most societies as
either recreational or working animals. Presenting a broad coverage
of topics relating to horse and donkey ownership, The Handbook of
Horses and Donkeys is an introductory guide providing expert advice
on current ethical management practices. The history, evolution and
domestication of equids is covered, along with equine anatomy and
physiology, nutrition, behaviour, learning and cognition,
communication, equine health and disease, hoof care, first aid,
parasitic infections, preventive measures, pregnancy and foal
management. The book is practical, guiding the reader towards good
management and best practice. Functional topics are also covered,
including body condition scoring, estimating body weight,
calculating dietary rations, stabling, pasture advice and
management of abnormal behaviours and stereotypies. The approach is
holistic, with a global perspective of the care and different uses
of equines worldwide and of equine health in relation to the global
spread of infection and diseases. The information presented is
expert-led but written in an informative and accessible way,
designed to be applicable to the novice or experienced owner.
