Overview
- Comprehensive coverage is based on sound research and evidence-based practice, and provides an understanding of the physiologic processes underlying the responses of horses to exercise and physical conditioning, from musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders to nutrition and physical rehabilitation.
- International perspective on equine athletics includes guidelines pertinent to different geographic areas and racing jurisdictions.
- Complementary and alternative therapies are explored, as well as physical therapy and chiropractic therapy for athletic horses.
- Coverage of abnormalities of the upper airway is now divided into two chapters: Disease of the Nasopharynx and Diseases of the Larynx and Trachea.
- Coverage of diseases of the heart is divided into two chapters: Arrhythmias in Equine Athletes and Structural Heart Disease of Equine Athletes.
- Nearly 900 drawings and clinical photos depict equine anatomy, testing, and treatment scenarios.
- High-quality artwork includes new radiographic, ultrasonographic, CAT scan, and MRI images to aid understanding and diagnosis.
- Expert Consult website includes a fully searchable version of the entire text with each new print purchase.
- NEW! New chapters in this edition include:
- History of Equine Exercise Physiology
- Farriery and Shoeing of the Equine Athlete
- Transportation of Athletic Horses
- Investigating Causes of Death During Exercise
- Behaviour and Behavioural Abnormalities in Horses Used for Racing and Competition
- Welfare of Horses Used in Racing and Competition
- The Connected Horse on innovative, cloud-based technologies used to monitor horses during racing/competition and training
- Track and Course Design
- Principles of Regulation of Drug Use in Competition Horses
- Detection of Drug Use in Performance Horses
- Drug Effects on Performance
- Epidemiology and Control of Infectious Diseases in Populations of Equine Athletes.
