This is a book about the restitution of soundness in horses which have been trained under seemingly ideal conditions, and nonetheless suffered injury. Most of the book's authors have had direct experience in performing medical and surgical interventions designed to correct athletic injuries. Most of the authors have also been directly involved in the conditioning techniques designed to not only render their own charges ready for competition, but also ready to win. The book suggests how things can "go wrong" even with man's best-laid plans. The text then describes the path back from athletic injuries based upon that which is known about equine anatomy and physiology, and draws upon experience in human rehabilitation where applicable.

Chronic injury is unfortunate for all owners and trainers as it is far more difficult to treat than less serious injuries and in some cases irreversible damage will have been caused by the delay. Prompt and appropriate treatment, however, will always give a performance equal to that achieved before injury. In this book the author explains basic anatomy linked to common sites of injury and describes the machines available to adequately rehabilitate the horse. The book will be essential reading for all owners and trainers of horses involved in athletic activity such as show jumping, racing, eventing and polo. It will also be a useful reference to veterinary surgeons and physiotherapists specialising in this field. The book has been updated throughout to reflect current thinking.
