Review :
To pass the Stage III Examination requires hard work and practical experience. These qualities need to be based on, and supported by, a sound knowledge of the various topics contained within the syllabus. This book satisfies that need. As a sequel to the Stage I and II books, this volume has been eagerly awaited by many students working towards their Stage III Examination. It is written in a style that is easy to read and understand with all the information being presented in a logical way. The need to have many books, each giving a little information is eliminated. Here we have all we require in one volume enabling more time to be spent on increasing the practical expertise. Anyone reading this book, whether as a serious career student or as a horse lover seeking to learn more about the horse, will find it invaluable. I recommend this book to anyone who gains enjoyment and pleasure from the horse. Valerie Lee, BHSI Chief Examiner
