Description
This comprehensive text not only covers basic principles of horseshoeing, but also focuses on medical and surgical foot care management.
Starting with the anatomy and physiology of the equine foot, this one-of-a-kind book then evaluates the foot, its pathological conditions
(including structural, developmental, and traumatic conditions in addition to laminitis), balancing and shoeing the healthy and diseased
equine hoof, and ends with a chapter on new directions in equine podiatry, written by cutting-edge researchers in the field.
