Acupressure for Horses, Hands-On Techniques to Solve Performance Problems and Ease Pain and Discomfort
by
Very interesting book but give yourself time to explore. I did use it to help with a colic using a laser on acupressure point and it seemed to help. there is a lot to learn on this subject and this book is a good start. It is also well made and fairly sturdy which should help if you want to use it in the field.
This book has a lot of valid information regarding acupressure, meridians, horse personality types, e t c. I’m only giving it 4 stars however because it is poorly organized. There is no table of contents for reference. Finding the correct acupressure points her particular condition or type of horse requires going back and forth to the index and reading the different pages that contain the keyword. Why there is no table of contents by Meridian, Point, an illness is unbeknownst to me. I’m actually purchasing another acupressure book as I find it will be easier and faster to find what I’m looking for. Clinical Reasoning in Small Animal Practice PDF
