Storey's Barn Guide to Horse Health Care + First Aid

The second in a series of manuals designed to hang on an inside wall of a barn like a calendar, Storey's Barn Guide to Horse Health Care + First Aid is a practical reference providing advice on health care issues specific to horses, such as lameness, nutrition, wound treatment and removing a loose shoe.

Illustrated step-by-step instructions lead horseowners through daily health checks, basic dental and hoof care, and first aid.

Loaded with tips and suggestions on items that veteran horsepeople take for granted, like how to pick up a hoof to check the animal's shoes or applying a twitch, this manual will be especially useful for new horse owners.
