    Interest in equine geriatrics among veterinarians and researchers is on the rise as many horses remain active and rideable well into their twenties. However, as horses age, they develop certain condition that affect their overall health. Equine Geriatric Medicine and Surgery is a thorough and comprehensive text covering every aspect of veterinary management of the aging horse. The text covers many clinical topics like cardiology, dentistry, nutrition and more. Plus, there are a number of chapters devoted to the emotional challenges of caring the aging horse. Many of the conditions commonly associated with "old age" in the horse - such as lameness, weight loss, or poor shedding - actually might be treatable or preventable. Equine Geriatric Medicine and Surgery will help veterinarians manage their patients' health, and the specially written "layman's" sections will help educate owners about preventive measures that can be taken to extend the life of their animals.

• It's the only equine geriatric book for veterinarians
• Information specific to senior horses allows better management of the medical conditions that affect aging animals and includes preventive measures that can be taken to extend the life of the horse
• Provides the most current information from the leading practitioners in equine geriatric medicine
• Includes chapters on the emotional aspects of caring for the aging horse, including bereavement, euthanasia, and the human-animal bond
• Summarizes important information in layman's terms so owners can better understand conditions and their treatment/management

    This is an invaluable reference dedicated to the equine back, providing comprehensive coverage by international specialists. "Equine Back Pathology: Diagnosis and Treatment" is the first book to explore conditions and problems of the horses back and pelvis, which are often difficult to diagnose and treat. The importance of the horse's back to their function and athletic ability cannot be underestimated. There has been considerable progress in recent years in understanding back problems in the horse, and this book brings together the most recent research. The book is divided into sections covering: the normal anatomy and kinematics of the horse's back; the approach to investigating suspected back pathology; diagnosis and treatment of specific conditions; back pathology in specific sporting disciplines; and, complementary therapy and rehabilitation.

    This text is divided into three main sections: the mare, the stallion, and the neonate. Each is equally important to veterinarians involved in equine reproductive practice. Too often, interest in the mare wanes once her pregnancy is diagnosed. Monitoring of pregnancy and neonatal care are areas of prime importance, because presumably the aim of any breeding program is to produce viable offspring. In addition, education regarding stallion reproductive physiology and management is alarmingly sparse, and the stallion is often neglected despite being half the fertility equation. The discussions of the mare and stallion are divided into the following topics: anatomy, physiology, and endocrinology; breeding management; diseases of the reproductive tract; and reproductive surgery. Additional topics in the section on the mare are pregnancy, parturition, and the puerperal period. Discussion of the neonate is divided into neonatal care and diseases according to body systems. Ninety-five authors and co-authors have contributed to this work. The number of North American authors reflects their affiliations; however, readers should note chapters by numerous internationally recognized educators from both Northern and Southern Hemispheres....

    Few things on this earth are more enjoyable than the birth of a baby, especially a little gangly-legged foal when it first attempts to get up on it s feet and nuzzle up to mama. In the past, it was more difficult to breed your stallion to a mare that was quite a distance away, to achieve that one in a million foal. Modern technology has made it possible to breed a mare thousands of miles away to a choice stallion, but the high cost of veterinary services make shipping semen expensive and time consuming. Therefore, more and more stallion owners are taking a do-it-yourself approach, with varying success.

Until now, the only way to learn proper techniques for collecting and processing semen was to attend one of a handful of seminars at veterinary colleges. Even then, putting the learned techniques into practice can be confusing and difficult for the beginner. Judith Pilgrim s book, Shipped Semen 101: A Laboratory Manual for Horse Breeders and Stallion Stations, aims to make the process understandable to the average owner.

In the book, she discusses the physiology of the stallion, the best equipment and where to find it, cost, and facilities. Pilgrim then provides illustrated step-by-step instruction on how to collect the stallion, evaluate semen quality, calculate the correct dosage, and prepare if for shipping. Worksheets and checklists guide you through the entire procedure, and Pilgrim s easy method of dosage calculation can be copied and used for each collection. The book also includes chapters on the physiology and artificial insemination of the mare, resources for obtaining supplies and equipment, and instructions on how to build an inexpensive breeding mount that will save you hundreds of dollars.

Any stallion owner contemplating setting up a facility or anyone involved with standing a stallion will refer to the easy-to-use formulas, checklists and practical advice again and again....
