Chart One:  Four large color photos show the locations of the acupressure points used to help the horse with cardiac and respiratory arrest, injury and heat stroke. The points can be used to try and revive the horse who is unconscious and to prevent the horse who is injured or ill from going into shock and losing consciousness.
Chart Two: Three large color photos and an anatomical drawing show the locations of the acupressure points used to help the horse with colic. These points can also be used to support good digestion in the horse and try to prevent colic.
