Kerry Obrien: Amazing book. I have had a three decades career as human bodyworker and function movement professional. For 9 years I have been chasing my horse’s asymmetries and inability to engage her hindquarters. 9 years and untold $$$$$. The author so clearly explains the functional anatomy I now have a deep understanding of the root of my mare’s problems. If only the many farriers, chiropractors and veterinarians she has seen had read this book. NO one has “seen” her the way this book makes perfectly clear. I feel empowered to help her rather than going down the road of endless injections for issues that are peripheral and secondary to the root cause of her difficulties. We need more people like Dr Kleven. They are not teaching this level of analysis in vet schools.

Tayloranne 13: Well written and easy to understand. Every horse owner should have a library of such informative books as this one. Our horses need to be cared for and not all of us have copious amounts of money to call a vet for every little boo-boo. I’m very 😀 with this book. We are getting through a shoulder injury using these techniques that are in this book. It’s been a long haul but I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

AmyLynn: There is a lot of great information in this book. My horse was recently diagnosed with kissing spine and the information as well as stretches and other recommendations are extremely helpful. I am so glad I had this book on hand to help me. Every horse owner should have it!

Kristen Nitka: Very well written. The author explains things simply but thoroughly. There are lots of images to demonstrate what she is explaining, and she highlights significant points. Besides explaining her techniques, she also includes chapters explaining how all everything works together. Highly recommend this book!

Maila Marino: Non esistono molti libri che parlano di fisioterapia per cavalli e questo lo ritengo soddisfacente anche se non è prettamente scientifico e non c'è bibliografia cosa che ritengo importantissima! Inoltre mi sarebbe piaciuto approfondire di più la parte di neuologia.
Però ci sono molte immagini che aiutano a capire quello che spiega la Kleven.
L'indice del libro è il seguente:
1. Introduction to Physical Therapy for Horses
2. The Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System
3. Biomechanics
4. The Nervous System
5. Observation
6. Palpation
7. Massage - The Art of Healing with your hands
8. Mobilizing and Stretching
9. Stabilization and Strengthening
10. Physical Therapy
11. Rehabilitation
12. Preventive Measures

Jennifer Savage: I bought this book as soon as it was available, and I absolutely love it. I’ve owned and worked with horses my entire life, but this book was still educational and SO well written. I think this is a must have book and I am so satisfied with my purchase. The layout of the book, the visuals, and the descriptions and explanations of everything are A+. Never stop learning, people. A truly great read.

Mandy: Everyone at the barn has wanted to borrow this haha! Great book, my trainer has noticed a difference in my horses hind end use, she has bad conformation (long back, very weak SI and the bonus of upright hind pasterns with cysts in both hind pasterns) and this book was a start to a rehab plan so I can know she's strong enough to support my weight. Good info, and I found it very handy.
