 A Working Guide to Veterinary Acupuncture September 15, 2009
Indian Maid
I bought a copy of this book when it was first published & found it to be exceptionally useful, particularly since I was the only "barefoot vet" for at least 45 miles in any direction for some 15 years. The pictures are "homey", rather than polished, but the information is priceless & accurate. Anyone who doesn't like the methods used likely doesn't much care for TCVM either. So what? That doesn't make them right. Having shod horses for nearly 40 years, I know "up close & personal" that Disney lied & not all horses are gentle or kind. The methods recommended in the book are not what western culture is used to, but they are not medieval or cruel either. They are classic TCVM. Most of all, they work. I love this book. The information in it literally saved both me & a lot of horses before a western vet moved to our area - & he often would ask me if I had any acu-magic for a particular complaint, since his training wasn't doing the job. He was a superb country vet & his open mind was part of his ability.
 Xerox images - no structure - midevil treatment of horses May 3, 2008

I am NOT impressed by this book. The images in the book look like they are photocopied into it(Xerox style) Lousy quality!
The acupoint charts and description of the points are not easy to link together as they are presented in different chapters.
The book describes how to burn the horses with hot needles and moxa until they get burnmarks. Descriptions on how to use knifelike needles instead of regular acupuncture needles are common. Restraining methods of the horses to be able to torture them with the midevil methods mentioned above are explained to the reader. Discusting!
Save your money, DONT buy this book. I recommend Veterinary Acupuncture written by Schoen, Equine Acupressure from Tallgrass Publishers and
Equine Landmark Anotomy and Acupoint Energetice by Amy Snow if you would like to learn more about equine acupuncture/acupressure.
