Great place to start!:
This book is a great overall place to start in the area of equine therapy and message. I found it a great addition to my other books on the subject.
too acedemic:
I was disappointed with this book because it is too acedemic. It covers a lot of theory but is not very practical with only a few diagrams. While a professional massage or physical therapist would enjoy reading it, a horse owner wanting easy to read instructions with diagrams, would be disappointed. I would borrow it from a library, but it is not worth buying.
A little more technical than I had planned for:
This book is extremely detailed in anatomy. Although I like it, it's a little more detailed and technical than I had in mind for massage and stretching. It's almost like a mini text book. I found it a little on the heavy side for reading. I think this book is only for the most serious of students. It is chock full of technical descriptions, diagrams and some good black and white photos. I found myself skipping around trying to find something I might want to try on my horse but this book really isn't good... more info
Slow going at first...:
Technical jargon galore in the first few chapters but after that the rest is easier for us non-vets to understand.
