Anatomy of the Horse
by: Stubbs, George
George Stubbs was one of Britain's most innovative artists. Such is the
present reputation of his paintings, with their astonishingly convincing
renderings of both animals and people, that it is easy to forget how much
of his success was based on rigorous scientific observation. In 1756,
Stubbs rented a remote farmhouse, where he erected a scaffolding to hold
the cadavers of horses as he dissected and drew them. After 18 months
of single-minded dedication, Stubbs produced the drawings for" The
Anatomy of the Horse, "which he later etched himself. The result
was a sensation. Letters of congratulation poured in from scientists all
over Europe, amazed not only at the perfection of the finished work, but
that it had been produced without patronage. It remained a textbook for
artists and scientists for well over a century, and to this day, the strange,
spare beauty of these prints continue to fascinate. 64 pgs.

Blessed Are the Foals
by: Lose, M. Phyllis VMD
Once again, Dr. M. Phyllis Lose draws on her decades of experience in
equine veterinary practice to explain how to evaluate the foal's health
and to recognize when professional help is needed. Profusely illustrated
with photographs taken in her practice, Dr. Lose describes in simple,
easy-to-understand language for owners, foaling attendants and caregivers

from the norm. Beginning with the delivery, emergencies such as failure
to breathe, to rise and to nurse are addressed along with such problems
as infections and congenital, hereditary and developmental conditions.
Other topics include medication and diet, with the emphasis on foal nutrition
to meet the changing needs of the newborn; exercise and the special needs
of the premature, twin, orphaned and rejected foal. In addition, Dr. Lose
discusses current veterinary and husbandry practices and gives candid
judgments about their efficacy. Blessed Are the Foals is, in effect, the
companion volume to Dr. Lose's Blessed Are the Brood Mares - the acknowledged
classic on the breeding and care of mares through gestation. 210 pgs.

Bowed Tendon Book
by: Ivers, Tom
Bowed tendons are racing's most dreaded performance injury. The sight
of a hot, swollen tendon strikes fear into the heart of every horse owner
and trainer. Until now, there has been little sound advice on how to treat
a bow and even less information on how to prevent one. The Bowed Tendon
Book outlines the hour-by-hour treatment for a bowed tendon and how to
bring the horse back safely to winning performance. It explains how to
spot a bow in the early stages and how to avoid bowed tendons altogether.
This book tells why horses bow tendons and injure suspensory ligaments
and how trainers, riders and farriers contribute to these injuries. The
Bowed Tendon Book tells you how to distinguish a bow from other problems
in the lower leg, how to detect the signs that a bow is imminent, what
critical steps to take within the first 72 hours after injury. Ivers explains
the best methods for treating a bowed tendon, why some methods do not
work, exotic treatments for bowed tendons and the timetable recovery.
Every horse owner, trainer and veterinarian should have The Bowed Tendon
Book for instant reference in an emergency. 191 pgs.
