First Aid: How to Save Your Horse in an Emergency

Description

This book explains all the accidents and mishaps (some major, some less so) that can afflict horses; how to assess what has happened and how to deal with the crisis while you are waiting for the vet - what to do, what not to do. Unfortunately, all horse owners and riders must expect to encounter sudden accidents and emergencies, from time to time. Being informed and prepared will make a crucial difference between coping and floundering helplessly, or even making things much worse during the critical period immediately following an accident.

Dr. Andrea Holst is an equine veterinary surgeon. Daniela Bolze is a successful journalist specializing in equestrian subjects.
