Description

Laminitis: A Horse-Centred Approach describes in depth the current mainstream thinking on laminitis and suggests ways of reframing our understanding of this challenging condition. New thinking based on putting the horse at the centre of the problem is presented, allowing a better understanding of the biomechanics of laminitis. The ebook suggests ways in which damaged feet can recover, and also helps the reader to understand the pathological processes within the horse as a whole that lead to laminitis occurring, starting with an understanding of the horse’s innate ability to heal itself and working towards interventions that create an environment that is conducive to healing. The ebook also explores the concept that laminitis, rather than being a disease in its own right, is merely a symptom of a range of underlying health problems that affect the whole horse. 233 p.

Fantastic book, well researched and referenced. A must for ALL horse owners/carers to help them avoid laminitis or recover their horse after a devastating attack.

This book discusses roots and reasons as well as approaches to treatments and applying changes to the whole horse health to deal with full blown, as well as lower grades of laminitis.

An absolute must for owners and professionals alike.
