Publisher's Synopsis
The veterinary management of competition horses faces unique challenges compared with other aspects of equine medicine, such as medication control, monitoring for health, assessment of performance problems, and the detection of causes of impaired performance. This book specifically aims to provide practical advice to the veterinary practitioner on equine management, diseases and injuries that affect horses in show jumping, eventing, dressage and cross-country. It covers both on-site veterinary care and issues away from the competition, such as transport and performance monitoring.
