The book places particular emphasis on clinical anatomy, physical examination, diagnostic procedures, and the interpretation of normal clinical parameters. Its practical approach prioritises techniques and resources commonly available to general equine practitioners.

With 196 pages and 215 colour illustrations, the text is designed for efficient consultation, whether studying a particular condition or looking for guidance during clinical work.
