This did a great deal of service for me and while it can be technical, the answers are well illustrated and helpful.

I did not always find the answer here; Keeping Your Horse Healthy by a Swedish vet team Fritz Sevelius, Pritz Sevelius, Harry Pettersson, Lennart Olsson was a more modern book with extra information which resolved my issue on occasion.

Obviously, not one I'd recommend to most people. Unless you're into textbook equine medicine.

This book should be every horse owner's bible.
