The Fit Horse Companion is a neatly spiral - bound 167 page compilation of years of hands - on research with both horses and riders. Equine Fitness Training, Hydrotherapy, and Massage are completely broken down and explained for the student to follow along.
Every detail of monitoring heart rate during exercise, using ice and heat properly, and even massage techniques for the entire body are included in layman's terms. It is a true Horse Barn Manual. The book comes in a heavy gauge plastic pouch for protection because you will surely take it to the barn! If you have a horse, work with horses, or even know a horse, you should have this book.
The muscle, bone, and connective tissue illustrations are done so that a horse owner, or an Equine Massage Therapist can navigate this giant and magnificant athletic machine easily. There is not another book like this one!
Go to Books.Google.com and type The Fit Horse Companion for a 40 page preview of this book.
