The Athletic Horse, Principles and Practice of Equine Sports Medicine, 2nd Edition
Kolektiv autorů v této publikace ukazuje, jak maximalizovat výkon u sportovních koní. V knize jsou popsány sportovní tréninkové režimy a jak eliminovat poranění pohybového aparátu. Úvodní kapitoly jsou zaměřeny na zákklady anatomie a fyziologie koní. Další kapitoly se zabývají vyhodnocením laboratorních výsledků a diagnostických zobrazení u koní s doporučením pro sportovní přípravu nejen v parkuru, ale i závodním využití. Knihy je bohatě barevné ilustrována se zobrazením nejnovějších rehabilitačních technik, zobrazovacích metod. Velice přínosná je kapitola věnována transportu koní s ohledem na jejich pohodu a další sportovní využití.

Showing how to maximize performance in horses, The Athletic Horse: Principles and Practice of Equine Sports Medicine, 2nd Edition describes sports training regimens and how to reduce musculoskeletal injuries. Practical coverage addresses the anatomical and physiological basis of equine exercise and performance, centering on evaluation, imaging, pharmacology, and training recommendations for sports such as racing and show jumping. Now in full color, this edition includes new rehabilitation techniques, the latest imaging techniques, and the best methods for equine transportation. Written by expert educators Dr. David Hodgson, Dr. Catherine McGowan, and Dr. Kenneth McKeever, with a panel of highly qualified contributing authors.
