Nearly 1/3 of the book is devoted to the scientific basis for evaluating the equine athlete. This book is committed 100% to showing readers how to attain maximal performance in their horses by first making horse owners understand physiologic mechanisms and then training accordingly. The book shows important comparative concepts applied to the human athlete, but the text always centers on treating the horse as an animal and does not automatically apply human performance “tricks of the trade” accordingly. New to this edition: updated alternative/complementary techniques used in the rehabilitation of performance horses; new/improved imaging techniques in performance assessment; updated drug information as it applies to treatment, new regulations in drug use in the equine athlete; new advances in the method of transporting athletes to minimize stress; new rehabilitation techniques to return the athlete to his job; updated nutritional information for maximal performance; and special evaluation and considerations of the pediatric horse.
