The largest
organ in a horse’s body is not its heart or lungs or liver, but
the skin. Some experts say it is also the most neglected part of a horse’s
body. This new book looks at how skin, hari, and hoof horn work together
to protect the body, regulate temperature, and expand/contract. All those
skin problems from mud fever to rain rot and sweet itch are covered. Full
of color photos and diagrams, 192 pages, 7.5 x 9” paperback, Available
in USA July 2005. $40 plus $6 post in USA, $12 rest of world, via air
mail. Stand back,
here comes an all new guide to how to look at a horse. A veteran writer
put in some long, long hours researching different approaches and theories
to horse conformation, from the old timers’ truisms to state-of-the-art
biomechanics theories. The section on the hind end is particularly helpful.
There is no one out there who won’t find things of interest here.

An exhaustive
examination of the effects of saddles on horses of all shapes and sizes,
plus other sources of back pain. Covers all types of saddles, all shapes
of horses and riders. PRICE $30
plus $6 post in USA, $12 Canada, $17 elsewhere (Send US funds only, Visa/MC
preferred for foreign orders.) In this highly illustrated, comprehensive book, Dr. Harman reveals that 75 percent of horses that are chronically stiff, crooked, resistant, or disagreeable are reacting to back pain caused by an ill-fitting saddle. The reader is introduced to the factors that must be considered when searching for a saddle--numerous elements of horse and rider conformation and saddle construction--and painstakingly walked through the process of determining how the function of the horse's back, and the competence of the rider's seat are affected by them. It is made astoundingly clear that the results of conscientious saddle fitting are a horse that performs eagerly and moves freely, and a rider who finds it easy to correct her position, communicate her aids, and sit on her horse in a relaxed and balanced manner. Dr. Harman includes a thorough chapter on caring for the horse's back, with information on holistic therapies and tips for changing potentially problematic management practices. Dr. Harman is a veterinarian and respected saddle-fitting expert. She has been certified in veterinary acupuncture for fourteen years and veterinary chiropractic for a decade and is trained in homeopathy and herbal medicine. She has owned and operated Harmany Equine Clinic, a holistic veterinary practice in Washington, Virginia, since 1990. * * *
