Anthony Pusey, an osteopath of international renown, has
been instrumental in establishing the role of osteopathy in the
treatment of animals. Qualifying from the British School of
Osteopathy in London in 1971, he developed a large human
osteopathic practice whilst also forging links with veterinary
practices where he treated horses from the top echelons of the
horse world, including Olympic competitors of many different
nations. He also treated the horses of the Household Cavalry, The
Royal Mews and Windsor Castle. He lectured nationally and
internationally, as well as developing a Master of Science degree
in the application of osteopathy in the treatment of animals. This
book is a distillation of over 35 years of his work in this field.

Julia Brooks MSc DO qualified from the British School of
Osteopathy in 1983, before joining Anthony Pusey in a practice that
encompassed both human and animal osteopathy. She has
lectured nationally and internationally at postgraduate level, and
has been involved in Masters programmes and postgraduate diplomas
in both the development stages and as an external examiner for the
University of Wales.

Annabel Jenks DO, ND is an osteopath with over 25
years' experience. She has a private practice in Essex, UK,
treating a full spectrum of patients both human and equine, from

Osteopathic Medicine in London, where she has been a governor since
1997. She is a faculty member on the Masters Degree in Animal
Osteopathy at the University of Wales. She has previously ridden in
all disciplines but now concentrates on dressage, training and
competing with her own horses, from novice through to advanced
level.
