At the 2015 International Hoof-Care Summit in Cincinnati, Ohio, AAPF/CAPF Board Member Dave Dawson APF of Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada, presented to the Board of Directors a pencil drawing of Roy Bloom APF CJF.  The artwork was hand drawn by Ashley Miller, an artist also from Uxbridge, Ontario.  The artwork was subsequently auctioned and the final bidder was James Gilchrist APF of Wellington, Florida.  James then presented the artwork to Roy.  The AAPF/CAPF had copies of the print made and is now making these copies available for our members and others to purchase.  Prints are approximately 13" x 14"
 
All proceeds from the sale of these prints will go to the newly created “AAPF/CAPF Roy Bloom Scholarship Fund” which will provide financial assistance for new farriers to attend future Hoof-Care Summits.  The details of the application process are still being finalized.

Prints will be mailed directly to the purchaser.  Once an order is received, the AAPF/CAPF Office will contact the purchaser to determine how they would like Roy to personalize the print when he signs it.

Prints are available with two options:

Option A - Roy Bloom Print signed by Roy Bloom APF CJF - $50 (plus $10 shipping).  The paper used for Option A is 32 lb bond.

Option B - Roy Bloom Print numbered (1 - 200) and signed by artist Ashley Miller and Roy Bloom APF CJF - $100 (plus $10 shipping).  The paper used for Option B is satin paper.

This comprehensive equine laminitis book will enable you to discover the vital information you need to know to help your horse on the road to recovery.

This is THE reference book for all farriers and horse owners who are struggling to help their horses to recover from the devastating effects of laminitis and founder.

Written in clear, simple language that is easy to understand and implement for both beginners and experienced horse people alike.

It will guide you through the issues related to the laminitis and give you practical ways to prevent, treat and manage the laminitic equine using safe and effective, natural methods.

As a hoof care professional, I come across laminitis and founder on a frequent basis. I understand from both first-hand experience with my own horse and through witnessing my client's distress, just how scary it can be to find out your horse has laminitis. 

It can be overwhelming to try and take it all in when you see your horse in so much pain especially when you get conflicting advice from so many different sources.

Whilst there are lots of great online resources for laminitis, it can be time consuming to try and pull all that information together to come up with a workable solution for your horse. 

That is why I decided to write this book - to give you the information you need to make the right decisions and get your horse on the road to recovery as soon as possible.

Based on years' of experience and education it is a comprehensive resource for understanding laminitis and founder.

Learn the causes of laminitis and how you can prevent further attacks Learn how to recognize the early signs and symptoms so that you stop it before serious damage occurs Learn how to manage pain without inhibiting the healing process Learn about the anatomy of the hoof and why hoof care is so important in combating this condition Learn how to assess whether your hoof care professional understands the dynamics of restoring a foundered hoof back to health Learn how best to feed your horse so as to halt the progression of laminitis Learn practical ways to manage your horse's care so as to avoid future problems Learn about the safest medical tests available to properly diagnose the cause of the laminitis Learn how to make emergency hoof boots via step-by-step photos and instructions

By Doug Butler PhD CJF FWCF & Frank Gravlee DVM MS CNS

Veterinarian and nutrition expert Dr. Frank Gravlee has joined forces with farrier teacher and author Dr. Doug Butler to create a comprehensive, understandable and sensible guide for horse owners that is also a valuable reference for veterinarians and farriers. Laminitis and Founder: Prevention and Treatment teaches exactly what laminitis is and how the horse s body systems are affected. The book offers detailed advice on how to recognize horses that may be most at risk for the disease, and how to manage them. The second half of the book focuses on the effects of laminitis on the horse s feet, and how to best manage them with professional horseshoeing expertise and veterinary medical treatment.

Along with Gravlee and Butler, Dr. George Platt, a Colorado veterinarian, was a consultant to the book. Sections of the book s advice on the use of heart bar horseshoes for laminitis were based on his years as a laminitis specialist and his experience working with the late farrier and heart-bar shoe expert Burney Chapman. Readers will find tips on diet, pasture, obesity, exercise and in particular, the role of nutrition in both the healthy and laminitic horse, as well as advice on medical treatment and details of frog-support shoeing. Recommendations for how farriers and veterinarians should work together, and who does what will be helpful to the horse owner as treatment begins.

Veterinarians will find new information in this book on nutritional needs of foundered horses and also details on the edema theory of laminitis as well as insight into the role of the adrenal glands and cortisol production in the frustrating equine metabolic syndrome type of hormonal laminitis. Farriers will see many examples of successful heart bar shoeing regimens with straightforward advice for using heart bars and how to monitor their effect on the laminitic horse.
