When the Belmont Stakes is run this weekend, all eyes will be on the horses, their owners and the jockeys. But behind every winning horse is a groom, responsible for every nuance of the horse’s care, health and spirit.

In her new book “In Service to the Horse,” author Susan Nusser details a year in the life of three grooms, all working with champion thoroughbreds. The book also delves into horse mythology and animal behavior, and gives the reader a behind the scenes look at the multi-billion dollar equestrian sport industry.
