The BHS Veterinary Manual is a companion volume to The BHS Complete Manual of Stable Management and indirectly to The BHS Complete Manual of Equitation. They are intended primarily for examination students but should also be essential reading for all who care about and care for the horse.

Authoritative, comprehensive and practical, The British Horse Society's Veterinary Manual provides background knowledge on how the horse functions and veterinary advice on ailments, injuries and conditions. This classic work was updated to include sections on:

Laminitis
Equine Metabolic Syndrome
Cushing's disease (including update of the physiology of the equine pituitary gland)
recurrent airway obstruction
Equine genetic disease
Atypical myopathy
biosecurity and strangles.

The BHS Veterinary Manual should also be essential reading for all who care about and care for the horse.

Stewart Hastie was a graduate of the University of Glasgow and worked as a veterinary surgeon for 74 years. He was intimately associated with many aspects of the equine world, most notably hunting, eventing and racing. He was Veterinary Advisor to the Society of Master Saddlers and received the British Equestrian Trade Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. He sadly passed in February of 2018. The British Horse Society education system is one of the best and most widely-respected in the world. The BHS Career Pathway gives each student the opportunity to gain qualifications and awards in their chosen profession. They have been specially developed, through extensive consultation with the equine industry, to combine the latest research and thinking with current practices and friendly assessment methods.
