Understanding the Horse's Feetby John Stewart
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A practical guide aimed at horse owners, riding instructors, veterinary nurses, and students
Explaining the complexity of this subject in terms that the lay person can understand, this book will give horse owners confidence in discussing foot-related issues with their vet or farrier/trimmer. It details the structure of the horse's foot and how to examine it, the function of the hoof and other foot structures, and investigating lameness. The perennial problem of laminitis is examined in depth, together with other conditions that commonly affect the horse's foot. About the AuthorJohn Stewart worked in mixed veterinary practice for 15 years before setting up his own predominantly equine practice. He became interested in laminitis due to his own frustration in dealing with the condition, whichs led to his in-depth study of horses' feet. He has spoken at farriery conferences in Europe and the United States and was inducted into the International Equine Veterinarian Hall of Fame of the American Farriers Journal in 2012.
