Nursing and bringing a horse back to work after a long layoff can be tedious and frustrating, and is a time fraught with pitfalls. However, Dyer’s new book helps you avoid problems while keeping your spirits high as you tackle the task.
You’ll find guidance from 11 highly regarded veterinarians and professionals – all experts in reconditioning and rehabilitating horses. You’ll also read the stories of 40 amateur riders from all walks of life as they come to grips with diagnosis of tendon and ligament injuries, colic surgery, or laminitis. In addition to their heartfelt accounts, six riders who suffered nerve-shattering falls from horseback, broken legs, car accidents, and cancer surgery share their experiences as they regained lost confidence, conditioning, and locomotion in the saddle – proving just how strong our love for horses and riding can be when put to the ultimate test.
