    Energy therapy, more commonly known as Reiki, is rapidly growing in popularity as people discover how this ancient form of healing revitalizes the mind, body, and soul of both humans and animals. One of the greatest appeals of energy therapy is that it can be used by anyone. A gentle, non-invasive form of healing, it treats the whole individual-not just the symptoms of a condition. Clare Wilde has practiced energy therapy for years, and her success with humans led her to apply the therapy to horses. She found that it helped to resolve equine behavioral problems such as spooking, tension, and aggression, and that it aided the healing of physical conditions like injuries, muscle strains, back problems, and metabolic disturbances. Assuming no previous knowledge or experience, Wilde clearly explains the history of Reiki, the process of learning to use energy, treatment guidelines, and the dynamics and practical applications of healing horse and rider....

    Behavior has always been recognized as an important indicator of health and welfare in farm animals. Until recently, however, the curricula of agriculture and veterinary students have paid little attention to these issues. This situation has now changed and most students will receive a formal course in the subject and require a basic textbook. This book fulfills the need for such a comprehensive textbook. The third edition was originally published in 1990 by Bailliere Tindall, but is now reprinted because of the demand expressed by teachers and students. It provides a comprehensive guide to the behavior of farm animals and to the objective evaluation of their welfare. While primarily directed at students, it will also be valuable for veterinary practitioners, farmers and biologists seeking an introduction to the subject....
