Tuxedo on-line bookstore         My favorite horse book store. Their prices are very competitive, even when you add postage and handling. AND they do have those elusive titles you may not find in  'regular' stores.

Merck Veterinary Manual            Yep, it's mainstream veterinary care, but it can help you out in those tricky situations when your vet seems to speek Chinese. Mind you a  basic understanding of medical terminology does not go astray here. Lucky I am a nurse then...

Drug Protocols for Horses            In those acute cases when mainstream drugs are the safest bet to get your horse back on track this comes in handy  to help you remember what the vet told you about the dugs s/he just prescribed. Mind you, you should ALWAYS check with your vet again to make sure, but this could just jolt your memory.
