equine veterniray manual

Question
hello, please suggest me a good, simple, complete book on equine veterinary, either a book or a dvd. it should provide me the complete course. ma'am, i am from maths stream, i dont have any basic knowledge on animals. but i will surely try my best to learn if i am taught well. just opposite to my home is racecourse, can i get into it, start working as an assistant vet for a 1 year, get experience and then buy this manual? my dream is to start a show jumping stable in my village. we have 8 acre vacant land there. please dont think i am funny. this is my ultimate dream!!!

Answer
Hi Rohit,

I think your dream is an admirable one.  I'm not sure what the regulatory system is like in your country, but here you generally need veterinary technician training to obtain a position as a veterinary assistant.  But that could be very different where you are.  A very good veterinary manual that I could suggest to you is The Merck Veterinary Manual, and you can find more information about it at "www.merckvetmanual.com".  It's a lot of heavy reading but very informative.

Thanks, Corlena
