Book Excerpt: How to Assess Body Condition

Learn how to put a horse's condition into quantitative terms that even the courts can understand in this excerpt from the new book How to Start and Run a Rescue.

You'll find this method of assessing a horse's condition will become an invaluable tool in your quest to save horses. The use of body-condition scoring will enable you to put neglect into quantitative terms that members of the court can more easily understand.

The drive to help horses led Jennifer Williams to obtain a masters and doctorate degree from Texas A&M University in animal science, with an emphasis on equine behavior, learning and welfare. While at A&M, Jennifer also co-founded Lone Star Equine Rescue (LSER) and ran the organization for seven and a half years. During her tenure as president, the rescue brought in over 500 horses and helped countless more through educational programs. In 2005, Jennifer left LSER to co-found and run Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society, an organization helping equine animals throughout both Texas and Arkansas.

Through How to Start and Run a Rescue, Jennifer hopes to share her experiences so that other animal lovers can create and run successful rescue organizations. To order, call 1-800-952-5813 or visit HorseBooksEtc.com.
