Thank you so much this is going to be a great book to use for equine anatomy.
I fed back on this title long ago but in short it's a very useful book to allow students to view "real" prosected tissue. Occasionally the resolution of the images isn't what it could be, most likely because the dissections are of fixed tissue so there's inevitable discolouration and loss of definition of some of the structures (e.g. neurovascular structures in the limbs). Nevertheless, a useful complement to the standard anatomical texts that we use in our teaching
Excellent and comprehensive atlas of the equine
Useful pictorial guide, but I feed the dedicated textbooks (e.g. Dyce) are more useful for undergraduate comprehension. Would have this available as a reference text, potentially for use in practical classes.
