Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
JamesHerriot meets Jeff Foxworthy in the real-life adventures of a traveling horsedoctor.
Climb into the truck alongside large animal vet Dr. Madison Seamans and race tothe aid of horses with wounds, stomach aches, allergies, and bizarrebehaviors, as well as those in severe physical distress. Quite byaccident, you'll find yourself familiar with and understanding commonequine medical problems and how they are diagnosed and treated, all whilemarveling at the remarkable situations a country veterinarian can findhimself in. Playful yet serious, honest yet tongue-in-cheek, this wonderfully writtenbook is an up-close look at a well-lived rural life that is about asauthentic as America gets. No one who cares a whit for the animal kingdom,and the humans who dare enter it, will be disappointed.
"Veterinarian, lecturer, radio personality, and Idahoan-by-way-of-Texas (and other places) Dr. Madison Seamans shares a wonderful collection of stories from over 30 years in an equine veterinary practice and a lifetime of working with horses and their ever-surprising barnmates. Through ready humor and with a keen eye for calling out the particular peculiarities of horse people and horses alike, Dr. Seamans aims to teach readers how to be with and care for horses, promoting the health and happiness of all with lessons laced in laughter. Entertaining and educational by turns, this unique memoir is for anyone who loves animals (and some who just don't know it yet)"-- Provided by publisher.
