This book will be perfect to use to help you explain points to your clients. By illustrating the anatomy in such a clear way it can be useful to explain bridle fitting principles, anatomical points and problems relevant to your clients' horses.

The book helps us to understand the importance and function of the tempromandibular joint, the hyoid apparatus, the significance and position of the nerves, the sinus cavities and how to look after the teeth effectively.

Reviews
"As an equine physiotherapist I find Gillian’s work (and the team behind her) very informative and with good clarity on presenting to her audience.
Although I treat right through the musculoskeletal, visceral and emotional systems my absolute favourite has to be anything to do with the head and Gillian you have excelled yourself with the latest edition to your books “Illustrated Head Anatomy”! I know have a tool to hand that I can show to clients on various aspects of the equine head!
And to add to this, I am a huge fan of the black background when highlighting photos, cinematography etc it enhances the whole visual effect!
Well done …! “
