thehorsestudio.review; This book is an absolute must have for any horse owner, trainer or rider. FEI vet Karen Combe (MA VetMB CertEP MRCVS has done an awesome job with the editing to ensure that the information is quickly available as a reference guide in emergencies. She studied at Cambridge while author Sue Devereux graduated from Oxford then on to Bristol University. The author has done a great job of identifying exactly what we all need to know to make sound decisions quickly and with good education. I especially appreciated the excellent photography that brings a quick tool for analysis of a problem. Lots to learn here even for the more experienced horse owner.
