Almost every horse suffers from lameness at one time or another.  Lameness can range from the barely perceptible to potentially career-ending.  The condition can arise from a variety of factors: trauma, overexertion, improper care, or poor conformation.  Lameness sometimes is easily treated; other times it poses a frustrating challenge to veterinary experts.

In Understanding Equine Lameness, author Les Sellnow defines the condition of lameness in a straightforward, accessible style.  You will learn how the horse’s front and rear legs are put together and how the horse moves.  Understanding Equine Lameness covers the common causes of lameness and how they are diagnosed, treated, and prevented.  Original illustrations and photographs enhance the text.  Dr. A. Gary Lavin, former president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, contributes with an insightful foreword.  Understanding Equine Lameness is a valuable addition to every horse owner’s library.
