WHAT IS COVERED ☟
The following are all symptoms or behaviors that horse owners face. Each “complaint” in the book is fully addressed with probable causes, plans of attack, and easy-to-follow solutions.
Most of these complaints you will never find in a veterinary textbook. So veterinarians often don’t know what to do with these problems. Yet horse owners still need to know what to do. If you see your horse’s problem on this list, the Where Does My Horse Hurt? book will definitely help you.
