reviewed Horse Owner's Veterinary Handbook on March 18, 2008 Horse Owner's Veterinary Handbook
Excellent book! At the very least, this book helped me communicate with and double check the vets we use. For instance, I've asked different vets about vaccinating horses for rabies, and I have received different answers. Page 75, talks about vaccinating for rabies. After reading about it, I was able to make my own decision; I vaccinate for it.
On the down side, it is 10 years old and needs an update. It does not cover West Nile and other improvements in equine medicine. So, do I give it 5 stars for the contents it covered when I read it or now? I'm going with the past because it's still a darn fine book. :-)
