Review:

"This comprehensive and integrated information source will appeal to practitioners, veterinary students, post-graduate students in equine exercise physiology and horsemen and women involved with the equine athlete. Post-graduate clinical students will find the summation valuable as well as the comprehensive reference lists at the end of each chapter.

The text is presented in a clear, systematic, easily readable way. Extensive use is made of tables and illustrations." Dr Roy Gottschalk, The Veterinary Review, November 2004
