 Color
Atlas of the Horse's Foot by
Christopher C. Pollitt BVSc, PhD
When this book was first published in 1995, you could have
heard a pin drop. Around the world, farriers and veterinarians
quietly thumbed through the pages that would become their
visual menu for lameness reference. It is impossible to say
too many nice things about this book. It is, quite simply,
a series of photographs -- almost 500 of them -- each of which
illustrates an aspect of lameness in the horse's foot. Each
photo is accompanied by a detailed caption explaining the
case or the condition. Many surgical, medical, and shoeing
treatment options are offered, and in many cases the photos
are "before and after," offering insight into prognosis
for soundness or normal conformation.
By far the largest section of the book covers laminitis, Dr.
Pollitt's special field of expertise. Both clinical and theoretical
aspects of the disease's causes, onset, and devastating effects
on the foot are covered. Dr. Pollitt, a contributing editor
for Hoofcare & Lameness, is professor at the University
of Queensland's School
of Veterinary Medicine in Australia. He is a noted photographer
whose skill behind the lens and insight behind the pen make
this book a treasure. Hardcover,
208 pages, 494 illustrations and photos.

Equine Laminitis by C Pollitt, BVSc, PhD
All people who have horses have heard
of laminitis. It is the second biggest killer of horses after
colic. When laminitis strikes, it can be heartbreaking for
the horse and owner. Sometimes euthanasia is the only responsible
option. This book includes the latest research on the management
and prevention of this serious condition and has been compiled
Dr Chris Pollit from the Australian
Equine Laminitis Research Unit.
