Never Trust a Sneaky Pony: And Other Things They Didn't Teach Me in Vet School
James Herriot meets Jeff Foxworthy in the real-life adventures of a traveling horse doctor.
Climb into the truck alongside large animal vet Dr. Madison Seamans and race to the aid of horses with wounds, stomach aches, allergies, and bizarre behaviors, as well as those in severe physical distress. Quite by accident, you’ll find yourself familiar with and understanding common equine medical problems and how they are diagnosed and treated, all while marveling at the remarkable situations a country veterinarian can find himself in. Playful yet serious, honest yet tongue-in-cheek, this wonderfully written book is an up-close look at a well-lived rural life that is about as authentic as America gets. No one who cares a whit for the animal kingdom, and the humans who dare enter it, will be disappointed.

Really great book! Not a lot of books can make me laugh out loud while reading alone, but this one did.

Quite episodic. I would have preferred a bit more linear timeline. He has a sense of humor and a nice way of telling his tales. I liked it.

A perfect blend of education and humor, I adore Dr Seamans' wit and lightheartedness while also caring deeply about his work and the horses.
