Readership

Final year students, and equine practitioners, both specialist surgeons and general practitioners. As with all our equine titles we expect particularly strong sales to a secondary market of trainers, breeders, and owners - possibly more than usual given the sports perspective. Agencies responsible for the regulation of drugs, medication, transportation, preventative medicine and quarantine of horses will also find it indispensable.
