Hands-On Senior Horse Care
The Complete Book of Senior Equine Management and First Aid
By Karen E. N. Hayes, DVM and Sue M. Copeland


Eventually, most horse owners find themselves with a horse 15 years or older that will require some special care to help him live a longer, productive life. Owning a copy of Hands-On Senior Horse Care is like having an equine geriatric specialist on call at the barn. Section One offers action plans in the form of flow charts: the caretaker is asked a series of questions based on symptoms, and then given specific instructions based on the answers. Section Two highlights age-related problems ranging from colic to cancer and arthritis to heaves, with tips on treatment and management. Section Three is a step-by-step directory to evaluating and adjusting such things as feed, vaccinations, and exercise, making them more senior-friendly. Section four features a combination glossary-index for at-a-glance reference. This is truly an essential manual for horse owners.

Karen E. N. Hayes, DVM is an equine veterinarian in Idaho, where she breeds and raises Freisian horses.

Sue M. Copeland was the editor of Horse & Rider magazine for eleven years; she is now a freelance journalist in Texas and owns four horses.
