Equine Lameness for the Layman: Tools for Prompt Recognition, Accurate Assessment, and Proactive Management

Most equine caretakers are unable to perceive abnormal movement in the horse, extending the period between the onset of a problem and its eventual treatment, and the longer an issue is allowed to persist, the greater the chance that it will progress. Many equine veterinarians also find it difficult to visually decipher lameness, which leads to lengthy, expensive, and often inaccurate diagnostic work ups.

Description

Most equine caretakers are unable to perceive abnormal movement in the horse, extending the period between the onset of a problem and its eventual treatment, and the longer an issue is allowed to persist, the greater the chance that it will progress.

It is with this in mind that Dr. Bob Griselhas created a book unlike any other, Equine Lameness for the Layman: Tools for Prompt Recognition, Accurate Assessment, and Proactive Management. With hundreds of illustrations, dozens of charts, and links to online videos of explanatory case studies, readers are given a complete course in observing, identifying, and decoding equine lameness.

If you are looking for a multimedia approach to educating yourself about detecting lameness in horses this book is ideal. The book is very well written and organized with numerous photos and diagrams as well as video examples integrated into the text. I could not get my phone to scan the barcodes but all of the videos are available at getsound.com/tutorials. I find it much easier to look at videos on my computer anyway. It is obvious that this book is the result of profound dedication to and love for the horse.

This is easily one of the most valuable books on my equine book shelf. It is thorough, easy to understand, and the addition of video examples is brilliant. Between reading the material that is presented in clear and well ordered fashion and watching the case studies, you will learn a tremendous amount of useful skills in recognizing equine lameness.
