Industry Reviews

"This is a very useful book for equine veterinarians on the use of osteopathy along with other traditional therapies." (Doody's, 21 October 2011)

"Despite this book obviously being written with an audience of osteopaths in mind, it is a useful reference for vets who would like to expand their knowledge in this area. . . any vet considering branching out and taking a course in equine osteopathy or chiropractics should read this book." (Australian Veterinary Journal, 1 March 2011)

"This is a beautifully illustrated book that is well laid out and interesting to read." (Veterinary Times, 28 February 2011)
