<b>Zoe Davies is a former lecturer in equine science, a consultant equine nutritionist and external examiner for equine courses at colleges (for Edexcel). She has substantial experience in equine management and training and has co-authored <i>Horse and Stable Management (4e)</i> (in fact she did most of the revising), <i>Equine Science, Health and Performance</i> (with a new edition in preparation), and <i>The Horse in Motion</i> (all published by Blackwell).</b>
Many students have little or no knowledge of biology before they enrol for a variety of horse studies courses, from BHS National Certificate and Diploma to HND and degree. This new textbook sets out all the basic knowledge they need for this essential core subject. They cannot progress without it.
