Publisher Description
Aimed at human physical therapists (including osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapist and other body workers), who are adding equine treatments to their repertoire, this book presents the horse's anatomy in a traditional format, from osteology through to neurology and angiology.
Just as in human practice, a thorough knowledge of anatomy allows a true understanding of the what you are feeling under your hands. I found that it was easiest for me to learn the equine anatomy by focussing on the similarities to the human, and then noticing the differences, and so I have included those observations in this book.
Those comparisons with human anatomy assist in learning and translating those human therapy skills onto horses, at the same time offering you new insights into your human patients!

"I have a collection of recently purchased anatomy books, over 20 of them.
The Thoracic Limb book is the one I am going to sit down to read cover to cover.
I LOVE all the equine anatomy drawings in this book! I see more information I can use as a horseback rider than in any of the veterinarian authored horse anatomy books.
I want the next two volumes!!!!!"
"Volume 1 is a uniquely comprehensive resource and I’m thrilled I stumbled across it. I’m an equine bodywork certification student and hope Volumes 2 and 3 will be released soon."
