Care and Management of the Older Horse

Today, horses and ponies are living longer than ever before, partially owing to advances in veterinary medicine, but also owing to the willingness of owners to keep elderly equines into retirement. This book provides the owner with a wealth of advice and information on all aspects of care including feeding, keeping at grass and in the stable, vaccinations and worming programmes, dental care, insurance, shoeing, exercise, saddle fitting and retirement options. There is a veterinary section and an illuminating and practical section on euthanasia.Parsons, Heather Scott is the author of 'Care and Management of the Older Horse' with ISBN 9780851317915 and ISBN 085131791X.
