Foreword
This time the book is available because of CESMAS taking place in Cambridge, England!
Many factors have contributed to make it easy to run the conference at this site. First of
all the support of Sue Dyson, Pat Harris and their partners. Because of them over the
years I have had so many opportunities to be in the area that I knew that nothing could
go wrong. Second, the city hosts such a large number of conferences every year that also
the logistics of organisation could not fail. And third, many industrial partners were
willing from early on to sponsor the meeting.
The contents of this book complement very well the information presented at the
CESMAS meeting in Oslo (2004) published in the book „The Elite Race and Endurance
Horse“. That book focussed on how to have a healthy sport horse and maintain that
status, while this one gives more information on how to manage an injured horse and
how to rehabilitate it.
I would like to wish readers pleasure reading the book.
