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.
