The books are unique, since color photos and PowerPoint presentations that complement each chapter are available to the student and the instructor by using the URL to a Google Drive folder. Just the Facts: Introduction to Equine Science includes 22 chapters. These chapters cover the history of horses, the future of horses, types and breeds of horses, equine anatomy and physiology, biomechanics of movement, unsoundness, blemishes, judging horses, equine reproduction, nutrition, feeds and feeding, health and management of horses, hoof care, buildings, behavior, equitation, equine business, and careers in the equine industry. Besides complementary PowerPoint presentations, each chapter also includes a short self-assessment.
