This second edition of "Horse Anatomy: A Pictorial Approach to
Equine Structure" has been completely revised and enlarged. Its
original 25 pages of illustrations have more than doubled and now
include over 250 individual drawings. All of these drawings have
been specially prepared for this new edition by John Goody, and all
are fully labelled and annotated in the accompanying legends. The
text is primarily intended to explain and in many instances to
expand upon the content of the drawings. The basic make-up of the
horse is considered with the 'points' of the horse being shown from
several different views. Bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments
providing the anatomical basis for these surface points are dealt
with in some detail, the emphasis being placed throughout on those
structures that can be seen or felt from the surface of the body.
Component parts of the digestive, respiratory, urinary and
reproductive systems are shown in a number of the drawings, as are
nerves and blood vessels. Special consideration is given to the
structure of the head, with the emphasis on the nasal cavity,
teeth, larynx and guttural pouches. The structure of the limbs is
also illustrated in considerable detail, especially the foot, and
reference is made to injuries and diseases that can result in poor
conformation. The wealth of information contained in the book will
be of great interest and value to veterinary and equine studies
students, to owners, riders and breeders - in fact anyone requiring
to know more about the structure of the horse and what makes it one
of the most beautiful of animals.
