Industry Reviews

"The book is written in an easy to comprehend style and the chapters are concise. It does a good job of capturing readers' attention and provides pertinent information. Few books are specific to equine welfare; I would recommend this one for the library of anyone involved in the field of equine medicine or equine/animal welfare." (Doody's, 7 October 2011)

"The chapters presented in the book are primarily based on author experience, with a mixture of the informative and the provocative...[giving] useful insight into veterinarians' perspectives of the welfare of horses in the USA...Although Equine welfare and ethics generally takes the view of USA veterinarians, it has much that is relevant to similar countries, including Australia." (Australian Veterinary Journal 27/04/2017)
