Genetic wizardry by gene splicing is giving rise to a major scientific revolution called biotechnology, which will involve every facet of horse production -- from breeding, to feeding, to disease and parasite control. But advanced technology calls for advanced scientific and practical expertise relative to horses and horsemanship, along with futuristic knowledge of biotechnology, pollution and environmental control, biological control of pests, conservation of energy, care of horses in confinement, horse behavior and animal welfare, and sustainable agriculture. All these developments are covered in this book, along with the basics of horse breeding, care, management, and performance.
