Insight to Equus
Author: Tomas G. Teskey D.V.M
About: With 264 packed pages and 350 colour pictures, it will take you on a reading adventure, exploring ourselves and our environments, housing and habitat development, nutrition and herbs, herd structure and behaviour, parasite control, vaccination, hoof and dental care and finding support. Several real and entertaining stories reveal the Big Picture and “FEEL” of holistic equine health care. There are hundreds of ideas for improving your quality of life with these animals, including:
--79 pages of hoof care discussions and philosophy, including close-up pictures of maintenance and specialized hoof trimming techniques for founder, heel issues, contraction and multiple other challenges.
--63 pages of dental care discussions, also with close-up pictures of teeth work, in-depth descriptions of philosophy and techniques, case studies and never before published data on 1015 horses, exploring the amazing connections between hoof, teeth and body balance.
63 questions for study and discussion are now included at the end of the book! These will get you thinking in new ways, testing your understanding of this information and broadening your perspective.
This is a hard cover reference you can keep close at hand to remind yourself of critical information and show your friends, veterinarian, dentist, trainer, family and kids what incredible equine health considerations look and feel like. I know it will be a valuable addition to your library, and a book you can read multiple times without ever getting bored.
Recommendation: We first met Dr. Teskey in Slocan, BC at a clinic summer 2017 and were so taken with his vision of what the world could and should be for horses. This book belongs in the hands of every horse owner.
