Equine Welfare in Clinical Practice 1st Edition

Equine Welfare in Clinical Practice, 1st Edition by Virginia Wensley Koch delivers an essential, practice-focused resource for veterinarians, equine nurses, behaviorists and stable managers who prioritize the health and humane treatment of horses. This authoritative guide quickly draws you in with clear, evidence-informed perspectives that bridge science and everyday clinical care.

Inside, readers will find practical frameworks for assessing welfare at the individual and herd level, plus straightforward approaches to pain recognition, humane handling, behavioral assessment and decision-making under real-world constraints. The book balances clinical rigour with compassionate care, helping practitioners translate welfare science into effective treatment plans, environmental improvements and client communication strategies that stand up in busy clinics and stables.
