A structured guide to equine science

Zoe Davies’s third edition ranges across the scientific foundations of horse care, from genetics, cell biology and functional anatomy to digestion and the body’s major systems. Dedicated chapters on exercise physiology and the evolution of the horse broaden the scope, while coverage also includes circadian rhythms, sleep, immunity and hindgut microbiology. Chapter summaries and self-assessment questions provide built-in review points, and the book uses colour photographs and illustrations to support its subject-based presentation. The volume connects biological knowledge with modern equine training practices, explaining their scientific rationale.
