This book is a vital tool for all those engaged in improving the diagnosis and management of horses with neck or back problems.

The neck is a common derived characteristic of land vertebrates, not shared by their aquatic ancestors. In fish, the thoracic fin girdle, the precursor of the scapula, coracoid and clavi­cle, is frequently fused to the caudal aspect of the skull. In contrast, as vertebrates emerged on to the dry land, the forelimb separated from the head and the intervening vertebrae speci­alised to form a relatively mobile region – the neck – to allow the head to be freely steered in many directions.
