This book achieves the impossible - it makes learning equine anatomy easy! I wish it had been available when I was a student. Anatomy is taught here through the medium of a colouring book, an idea which may, at first sight, seem childish; however, it is a magnificently effective means of fixing the shape, structure and - crucially - the inter-relationships of the body parts in the mind of the student.
The act of following the outline of the drawings with a colouring pencil helps the reader to concentrate on details of structure which might be glossed over in conventional studies by eye alone. The instructions to colour separately specific parts, listed with each drawing, ensures that each part is carefully identified and yet, as the task of colouring in is a pleasant artistic endeavour, the learning process is amusing and interesting. Gone are the days of poring over dry texts, struggling to remember names of obscure parts of bones and how they fit together. After just one page of colouring, the student will be amazed at how much anatomical knowledge has been painlessly absorbed.
I strongly recommend photocopying each page as it's studied and only colouring the copy. Then the inevitable mistakes can be corrected without spoiling the original, and the book can be re-used for revision at a later date.
I think this is a wonderful book and believe every veterinary student should own a copy (buy a packet of 12 colouring pencils too!) The book will repay its cost many times, not just for 1st year anatomy students but also for those in clinical studies and, dare I say it, out in practice, where a sound understanding of anatomy is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment.
A magnificent book. Buy it now!

This is such a useful book to actively learn equine anatomy. A word of advice - copy or trace the pictures don't colour in the book or you can only use it once! I found that I needed to have an equine science text alongside to understand more about functional anatomy. I use this text for equine study and artistic reference.

This book is recommended reading together with "How Your Horse moves" for a one day massage course for horses that I am doing. Colouring in the muscles really does help with the learning process. Using this book in tandem with the how your horse moves book is proving to be a really easy and simple way of learning the structure/muscle groups of equines - highly recommended.
