They Shoot Horses, Don't They? is the first book to focus on the welfare of Australian horses living under our unique conditions. It covers common welfare aspects, including care and training, as well as industry issues and government regulation. Every chapter contains facts, extracts, statistics, case studies and expert commentary on horse issues in Australia.

They Shoot Horses, Don't They? brings together, for the first time in a single volume, coverage of the major issues in horse welfare and care in this country. Information has been gathered from hundreds of sources, including films, newsletters, interviews and web sites, and the book is fully indexed, to assist in your research and reference.

[There is] a public lack of awareness/understanding regarding the nature of horses; the physical and psychological requirements of their welfare and the true situation regarding the extent of cruelty, abuse and neglect to which many are subjected in contemporary Australia. If this [book] were available to the public it would address these issues and hopefully precipitate reactions which would in turn influence others.'
Peter Fisher, President, National League for Protection of Horses, Australia

'You have done an enormous amount of research, and have uncovered facts that opened my eyes to the plight of horses in Australia, and I'm sure would do the same for virtually every reader. Australians think that horses are much loved animals, and treated much better than other animals. You have exploded this myth.'
Professor Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation.

'I think that it is so important that all of this material has been put together in what looks like a very "readable" format. The significant amount of research you have undertaken means the book will make a sound contribution to public knowledge of the current plight of many horses. The treatment of horses is often romanticised in Australia…I think the real story must be told.'
Glenys Oogjies, Director, Animals Australia

This book provides a balanced and readable overview of the many issues relating to the treatment of Australia's horses
