Description

Equine Science by Zoe Davies provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific knowledge required for equine programmes. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to include clear and systematic presentation, full-colour photographs, chapter summary points, and self-assessment questions. The book explores the structure and function of the horse's body systems, explains modern training practices, and features new chapters on exercise physiology and the evolution of the horse. It also incorporates the latest scientific advances and changes in student curriculum requirements, covering topics such as circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, the immune system, and hindgut microbiology. Suitable for students on equine studies and science programmes, as well as those studying for BHS qualifications up to BHSII Stage 4 Horse Knowledge and Care, this text is a valuable resource for anyone seeking in-depth knowledge of equine science.
