  • "Equine Science, 4th Edition gives you the basic understanding of horses necessary for your success in equine care and management. Richly illustrated in full color, the book uses a logical, easy-to-follow outline to make learning simple, while addressing essential topics like care and feeding, training, development and reproduction, illness, inheritance, and the history of horses. Bursting with helpful features, Equine Science, 4th Edition will pique your interest with detailed tables, charts, graphs, and photos, as well as informational sidebars, website references, and end-of chapter activities that test your knowledge of the material. As a future equine professional, you will especially appreciate the glossary of terms at the end of the text, as well as the appendix, which includes useful conversion factors and worksheets and provides contact information for professional organizations. - Publisher."
  • "Similar to other books on horses, this book starts with where the industry and horses have been and where they are now. Also, similar to other books on the horse, this book contains information about the breeds and types of horses. Chapters on soundness, selecting and judging, and determining the age of horses could be considered quite traditional for a book on horses. However, in this book understanding these topics receives strong support from the biology or science that is involved. Chapters on cells, tissues and organs, and functional anatomy also support a student's understanding of reproduction, nutrition and digestion, feeding, health, and parasite control. A chapter specifically on genetics further enhances a student's understanding of reproduction and breeding. This textbook also includes a complete discussion of the immune system. - Preface."
