Equine Lameness for the Layman: Tools for Prompt Recognition, Accurate Assessment, and Proactive Management Review: veterinaraian approved! - This is absolutely the best book out there on visual diagnosis of lameness in horses. I say that as a veterinarian who practices sports medicine as well as equine bodywork. I wish I had had this book available as a vet student. This is no "lightweight" manual intended only for the horse owner, despite the title. This is text that is detailed, methodical and well organized in its thinking appropiate for vets, trainers and owners alike. It will take some work and thinking things over to work your way through this text, but it will be well worth it for any horse owner. I think it should be a required read for anyone training horses or riding them competitively, and frankly most vets could probably learn a thing or two from studying this manual. This is not merely for the "layman." Don't be fooled by the title. It is just the right length and comes with nice diagnostic algorithms in chart form as well as links to video. It doesn't dumb things down but also doesn't require one to be a vet either. Serious but not overwhelming. Review: A long awaited text for equine caregivers - This is the text I have been waiting for a veterinarian to write. There are videos supporting the discussion (you scan the code with your phone), illustrations, photos and charts. This book was not written so owners, trainers and for that matter, other health care professionals can diagnose. The bottom of the cover says it all: “Tools for prompt recognition, accurate assessment and proactive management.” In the introduction the author writes: “The primary objective of this book is to shorten the time frame between the onset of your horse’s problem and your recognition of it.” It is wonderful to see that someone has taken the time to write guidelines so the caregiver can get their steed the intervention by the veterinarian before the horse develops a larger problem or secondary issues. I highly recommend this book to everyone! It will be on Equinology's recommendation list for our students. Thank you Dr. Grisel!

It is dense, filled with veterinary terms and has many video links to actual examples. It is a wealth of information and helped me when discussing a horse's lameness with the vet two days ago. It is not an easy read but it is invaluable.
