The equine hoof is a complex marvel of natural engineering, built
to withstand tremendous forces and able to adapt to an astonishing
range of environmental conditions. It also changes daily-for better
or for worse-in response to external and internal factors. Few
horse owners have the opportunity to acquire a deep understanding
of the hoof, which limits their ability to advocate on their
horses' behalf and make informed decisions about hoof care and
management. This book is the first resource of its kind to combine
the most current and useful information available, gleaned from the
research and wisdom of top hoof experts around the world, with a
unique 'hands-on' approach. The authors provide basic terms and
anatomy, clearly illustrate the differences between healthy and
unhealthy feet, discuss biomechanics and management concerns, and
cover the causes, treatments, and prevention of commonly
encountered problems, including laminitis, white line disease, and
thrush. Along the way, readers are given activities to help them
better analyse and understand the most important aspects of equine
hoof health, such as hoof balance, depth of sole, and point of
breakover. Easy-to-follow language, over 400 full-colour
photographs, and do-it-yourself exercises promise to empower horse
owners and caretakers of all experience levels with the tools they
need to accurately assess hoof health and keep their horses as
sound and happy as possible.
