Dr. Alice Says: Healthy Horses Seldom Burp!

Rating:
Summary: Great Book for Inexperienced or Professional Horse People
Review: When I first heard the title of Don Blazer's new book, "Healthy Horses Seldom Burp!", and knowing Blazer's off the wall sense of humor, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew it would be interesting and I wasn't disappointed. I highly recommend "Burp" to anyone who owns, cares for, or is contemplating purchasing a horse. "Burp" is entertaining and informative. Blazer has a unique way of delivering material which is normally dry and way too technical. Some books on conformation, hoof ailments, nutrition, deworming, genetics...health topics, should include a box of "No Doze". "Burp" is not boring or dry and you don't need an interpreter to get through the book. Dr. Alice M. Blazer, a veterinarian and certified acupuncturist (also Don's Blazer's better half), provides health care and nutritional information to keep horses happy and healthy. Dr. Alice's natural use of humor to get the nasty technical mumbo jumbo to where it's understandable is refreshing. The Blazer's have collaborated to produce an educational book that is actually fun to read. I normally wait for books to become available on tape, and I intended to read the first chapter or two, but ended up reading the entire book in one sitting.
