Alternative medicine and therapies are growing more popular as treatment methods, not only for humans but for horses as well, especially as awareness of these methods increases among horse owners. Acupuncture for horses is becoming widely accepted as an alternative therapy, and it is being used to treat a number of conditions in equines from soreness to infertility. Understanding Equine Acupuncture thoroughly examines the history of this ancient Eastern medical technique and its application to horses.

Author Rhonda Rathgeber is a graduate of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. She has a Ph.D. in veterinary anatomy and locomotion from Washington State University. A Lexington, Ky., resident, she maintains a private equine practice, specializing in acupuncture.

Although this is her first book, Rathgeber appears in the instructional video “First Aid for Horses,” produced by The Blood-Horse Video Library.
