Equine Science is a really useful scientific book which covers everything from body systems to health and management of the horse. I found this book helpful as a reference guide. It allowed me to gain an understanding of topics so that I could then go on and find more detailed information if needed.

This book will be useful both for students to begin to understand and learn more about the way a horseÕs body works and for those looking for more detailed information about the structure and function of the body systems. Each section is broken down to explain all aspects of each particular area.

There are some excellent diagrams and drawings throughout the book which are easy to understand and follow. The figures are clear and well drawn and the inclusion of these really helps when researching more complex subjects, although it would have been nice to have some diagrams in colour.

A well written, scientific book that clearly explains a wide range of topics on equine health and body systems. This book was easy to read and I will definitely use this extensively during my studies. A must for higher education
students and those studying towards BHS stage 3 & 4 exams. It would also be very beneficial for further education students and for anyone who is actively competing in equine sports.
