'How Your Horse Moves' is a wonderful, fascinating book that I bought for my son who is hoping to train as a farrier. We have four horses at home, my life revolves around horses and this book should be on every horse owners/horse lovers book shelf! Christine Cameron-Ramshaw

Format:Hardcover
An excellent resource for novices with enough depth to interest the more experienced rider. Although fairly technical in places the diagrams gives the clarity so often missing in words alone.

What a fascinating book! The author, an anatomist, literally paints the horse's internal structure on its skin, so we can see what it really looks like, and how it actually moves. The accuracy is incredible and although the subject of anatomy is not generally ideal for the squeamish, this is not the case here. I would highly recommend this book for any equine therapy/bodywork student, including vets, saddlers, farriers, and maybe riding school instructors, show judges, eventers, show competitors...OK, everyone with horses!
