TV Vet: Horse Book: Recognition and Treatment of Common Horse and Pony Ailments with over 300 action pictures. By TV Horse Vet (John Harvest Farming Press Ltd. 1977) Tired of fumbling around your horse’s ass with the thermometer? Not sure just how far to push your arm in when foaling? Is your mare a nymphomaniac? What are some simple methods of restraint? These and other topics are covered in just the first 32 pages of this interesting and photograph filled easy-to-use compilation of modern veterinary practices.
	Inside, stable girls and boys illustrate feeding practices in long black leather boots and becoming herringbone jackets. Section 13 covers “Stable Vices,” outlining several common social problems your horse may be victim to, usually as a result of boredom, and what may help improve character and morale.

Books of medical practices are often hard to follow and filled with impractical medical jargon. As an example of the crisp and clear style of the TV Vet: Horse Book, look at this example of the paragraph for castration, entitled “The Operation:” The testicles are exposed in turn, using a bold incision with an ultra sharp scalpel…, and the cords are crushed through one by one with the ecraseur chain. The wounds are then dressed with supphanilamide power.” A quick look at the accompanying photos and you’re ready to don the latex gloves! Not just fun for the “doctor,” but for the whole family too!
