Tried out quite a few equine medicine books and this is the one i always turn to.

I honestly didn’t realise how much I’d use this until I had it in my hands. It’s small to slip into my pocket but packed with so much info that it feels like a full equine manual condensed into something practical. The flowcharts are brillian – when you’re knee deep in a colic case and your brain is fried, they guide you step by step without overcomplicating things. The drug tables? Absolute lifesaver when you’re trying to remember doses at 2am during an emergency. If you’re a vet student or just starting out in equine practice this will certainly help.

This has been very useful for me so thanks to the author. I’ve been in practice for 3 years now and still use it almost every day. I’ve recomended it to all my collegues who pretty much all use it now.
