"So I just finished skimming your new eBook (haven't read every section thoroughly, but I leafed through it all), and I just wanted to say, chef's kiss ❤. The amount of work you guys put into that and the clarity, design and evidence sourced throughout is phenomenal. Obviously as a physio most of the concepts are familiar to me, but I can see as a vet, even a vet with rehab training, this would be a pretty incredible resource to have. And I'm definitely picking up pointers from your objective measures and case studies. OM's weren't covered well in my Diploma program, and I've read Gillian Tabour's thesis but it's valuable to see how you guys use it in practice. It's also really valuable to see how you've progressed though some case studies. I'm sure you know, the equine physio field is small, and often I feel a bit challenged when I recommend timelines/prognosis for rehab to vets modeled after human care (which is often far slower than the vet would have prescribed themselves), so to see you guys doing similar things (and presenting the research behind it) is really validating to my practice". - Katie Wood
"Fabulous book! Love the format, love the language, loved the bringing together of current research equine plus relevant other. Not being a practitioner I still found it incredibly relevant and I’ll be referring to it time and time again. I train gallopers and I’m already taking learnings from your book and putting them into practice. Congratulations on a brilliant book.
