Horses tend to be extremely accident prone creatures even without the compounding of this tendency with daily race training stresses.  It is little wonder that most racehorsemen have gray hair or none at all.  My text,  A Racehorse Herbal,  will cover most of the common injuries found in the performance horse. It will study the traditional treatments and offer new herbal ones.  Modern veterinary treatments will be examined, too.  Certainly, all spheres of treatment must not be overlooked in this competitive arena.  An example of selected racehorse injuries from A Racehorse Herbal will be discussed on this website from the following systems:

1. Skin System

1. Cracked Heels

2. Muscular/Skeletal Systems

1. Suspensory Ligament  

5  Gastrointestinal system

1. Colic

6. Nervous System

7. Endocrine System

8. Urogenital System
