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
