Publisher's Synopsis
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. A broad range of equine health issues is covered in four major sections on disease, lameness, breeding and foaling, and care and management. 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, understand, and care for horses.
