Interesting, but probably a bit ho-hum for experienced equestrians

It’s hard to rate a reference book like this when I myself am about the furthest thing from a horse person as you can get. That, and these kinds of things aren’t really meant to be read cover to cover. The title intrigued me, and I tend to approach concepts like holistic medicine with a fair bit of skepticism.

That being said, I appreciate the author’s continual insistence that none of her methods should be used to replace traditional vet medicine. I think people who have horses will probably find the exercise tutorials unnecessary since it involves starting stuff like lunging, so maybe that whole section could have been used for something else.

Still, this was interesting!
