Reader ReviewsThis is a great book. I bought it about three days before I witnessed a registered acupuncturist performing acupressure on a number of horses at the barn where I board. He did exactly the same things this book demonstrates. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher, and this book fits right in with what I know about energy work and the use of Chi to heal. The book is divided into seven chapters. The first covers Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), using the Five-Element theory, on which this approach is based. It explains things thoroughly, and allows you a basic understanding of what you can do with acupressure with your horse. There are many charts which illustrate the basic meridian systems in the horse in much detail, showing all the various points and discussing their functions and applications. The authors walk you through a treatment, from start to finish, including pre-treatment and post-treatment guides, as well as a complete section on equine stretches. There is also a treatment log book to keep for your horse, and a whole large section on specific treatments for specific conditions. The authors also teach this system in seminars across the US, and can be scheduled to come give a clinic in your area if you get enough horse owners together to afford it. All in all this is a fabulous book, one which I am finding fascinating to read and to put into practical application with my horse. It requires concentration to read, due to the fact that it contains much information, but it's laid out in an open and straightforward manner so that it's easy to understand. If you love your horse (who doesn't?) and want to help take responsibility for his/her health, don't hesitate to buy this book!
