Publisher's Synopsis
We tend to think of the skin as a large sack enclosing and holding together all the other organs of the body, but it is much more than that and has many complex functions. Everything an owner does or feeds to the horse has an effect on the skin, not only is it a barometer of health, but also it is often the most neglected part of the body. The author explains the function of the skin in detail and shows how to maintain it in perfect health by correct care and grooming. She shows how to treat skin complaints from louse infestation to saddle sores, from mud fever to sweet itch, effectively and safely. Every horse owner should read this book.
