is divided up into several sections that can be further investigated

A
basic knowledge of how organs and tissues work in the equine
body is essential if we are going to be able to look after and
manage horses to obtain the best performance. It gives us a
much greater understanding of how a horse functions. From the
flow of blood around its body, to the make up of a horses foot.
