The Professional Handbook of the Donkey, 3rd Ed., Compiled for The Donkey Sanctuary by Dr. Elisabeth D. Svendsen M.B.E. Here is the most comprehensive volume of information on the donkey, written by experts in each of the fields involved. Much of the knowledge comes from the meticulous records kept of every donkey at the Donkey Sanctuary in Devon. The skill of the Sanctuary's veterinary surgeons, non-intrusive research and observations by the staff who care daily for their charges have contributed greatly. Until the work of the Donkey Sanctuary began there was a great lack of veterinary information on the donkey; it is generally regarded as the lesser relation of the horse, yet, as the book points out, even its temperature is different from that of the horse. Here veterinarians who have particular expertise on donkeys freely impart the results of their experience. Veterinary sections, indicated by a green page corner, will be of great value to veterinarians and farriers at home and abroad. All donkey owners will find the sections on general care, breeding, showing and driving invaluable. Softcover, 6" x 8 1/4", color photos, 395 pages. To Order By Phone Call Toll Free: 866-596-9982
