Special Equine Therapy

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In a country practice, while the same money basis of case handling must be always borne in mind, it is not of quite so much importance. The country practitioner's clients usually have ample stable room and plenty of feed for their horses. Neither is the serviceableness of work horses on the farm computed at day wages, as is the case with most city horses. In addition to this, there usually remains the alternative of consigning the animal to procreative function should the patient be of the female sex. The latter alternative is the gateway to the ultimate recovery of many grave cases in a country practice, cases that in a city practice would inevitably end in the destruction of the horse.
