Description: Top veterinarians explain some of the more common afflictions in equestrian sports--including injuries, illnesses, and surgeries--and then provide a foundational plan for rehabilitation and recovery. This practical guide to bringing a horse back to work is filled with true stories of riders and horses from various equestrian disciplines. Horse-care professionals who have succeeded in rehabbing horses join other experts to recommend tips, therapies, and treatments. Finally, an inspiring group of stories explains riders' struggles to return after their own injury or illness, detailing the frustrations and challenges they faced and the successes they ultimately experienced.
