Many students have only a limited knowledge of biology before
starting a variety of equine courses, from BHS stages to National
Certificate and Diploma and HND/degree. Introduction to Horse
Biology provides all the information students of equine subjects
require, particularly those without a GCSE or A level in
biology.
This book will be invaluable to all students of equine subjects
including First Diploma, National Diploma, National Certificate,
Higher National Diploma and Higher National Certificate and all
students studying for BHS or other equine related examinations. It
is also ideal for serious horse owners searching for a better
understanding of horses and how they function.
