Book excerpt: The lay public is probably less familiar with the concept of osteopathy than the concept of chiropractics. Let it be stated that both acknowledge the pathological effect of vertebral lesions (subluxations) upon the functioning of the nervous system. Osteopathy, however, may practice a different type of manipulation. It concerns itself with the whole structure -- that is to say, vertebrae, but also all other joints, muscles, ligaments, and fascia. Osteopathy holds that if the structure is blocked in one of its components, health will be jeopardized, since the flux of energy which pervades the organism will be impaired. It is a "manual" medicine, where the healer (physician, veterinarian) is "listening" to his/her patient. Hence the title of this book, "What the Horses Have Told Me." Enthusiastic, curious, and brilliant, Dr. Giniaux is a researcher who passionately tries to understand, not only with his brain but also with his heart and senses, the exhilarating phenomenon called "life."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, equine osteopath Julie von Bismarck shares her experience and observations of the connections in the horse. She explains in vivid detail how far the health consequences of coercive measures such as Rollkur or so called LDR can extend, why even companion or leisure horses can develop stomach ulcers and locked joints, what restricted movement in the jaw has to do with an inflamed ligament in the hind leg, how a blocked lumbar vertebra is related to stifle conditions and digestive disorders, and how a seemingly innocuous stumble can lead to a horse with dehydration. The extraordinary connections and chains of events described in this book are vital information for every rider and horse owner, as well as for therapists involved in treating horses. Julie von Bismarcks words are an appeal to reason in the horse-riding world and a plea for the welfare of the horse in equestrian sport. Anyone who has read her books will see their riding and handling of horses through different eyes.

Book excerpt: Equine MRI is a unique, comprehensive guide to MRI in the horse. Edited by Rachel Murray, a leading authority and researcher in the field with over ten years of equine clinical MRI experience, the book also includes contributions from worldwide experts in the subject. Divided into the following four sections, the book presents key information based on previous validation work and clinical practice: Principles of MRI, including the practicalities of image acquisition and interpretation Normal MRI anatomy and normal variations Different types of pathological change Options for clinical management and prognosis for different conditions MRI is a rapidly expanding area in veterinary medicine that confers detailed, three-dimensional information on both bone and soft tissue. Expanding clinical knowledge, improvements in technology, and practical application of MRI to the standing and recumbent horse means this useful imaging modality has become an integral and essential part of the diagnostic evaluation in lameness and is a realistic option for investigation of ophthalmological, neurological and cranial pathology. Equine MRI enables readers to understand the best ways to achieve good quality images, and provides a detailed explanation of the problems that may occur. With close to 950 normal and abnormal images, this book offers considerable detail and examples of both common and uncommon problems, making it a great reference for equine veterinarians, veterinary students, specialists in equine surgery, and specialists in veterinary imaging.
