Lameness, one of the most common and most troublesome of all equine
ailments, remains the primary reason why horses are unable to
fulfill their potential and their riders' and trainers'
expectations. More preparation time is lost, more competitions are
missed, and more careers are prematurely ended because of lameness
than any other condition.
This book analyzes the causes, diagnoses, and management of the
myriad causes of lameness:
"Defining and identifying the lame leg; spotting gait abnormalities
and non-muscular causes; physical examinations and evaluations;
diagnostic tools and other tests; the role of the veterinarian and
farrier in pre-purchase examinations.
"Physical therapies; the applicability of rest, medications, and
other veterinary procedures.
"Hoof conformation and shoeing options.
"Joint, bone, muscle, and tendon and ligament problems.
"Neurological, dermatological, and developmental orthopedic causes
of lameness.
"Treatment of conditions specific to the foot, pastern and fetlock,
cannon and splint bones, knee, upper foreleg, hock, upper hind leg,
and back.
No other book covers this vital subject in such a comprehensive and
understandable fashion. For that reason, no other book deserves a
more prominent place on the shelf of anyone who owns, trains,
rides, or drives horses.
