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.

by Steve Kraus CJF APF and Katie Navarra
The must-have reference for effective and responsible shoeing for the good of the horse.
All horses have four hooves that are integral to their overall health, their athletic ability, and ultimately, their longevity, whether their “job” is simply grazing in a pasture or competing at the highest levels. But not all horses are the same—the individual needs of each horse require an understanding of responsible, informed hoofcare on the part of the owner, rider, or trainer. This highly illustrated guide by one of the world's leading minds in the area of farriery provides an unparalleled look at advances in shoeing and general hoof maintenance, with the goal of helping owners to comprehend the “whys” of certain choices, recognize variations in shoeing options, and become better consumers of horse shoes and horseshoeing all around.
Steve Kraus CJF APF, Head of Farrier Services at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and instructor at the Cornell Farrier School, is uniquely qualified to provide a varied and thorough exploration of hoof-related topics, including:
• Equine conformation—how to assess it in relation to soundness and performance, and how farriers use it to guide shoeing choices.
• To shoe or not to shoe? Using sense and science to analyze which horses are better served with shoes and which may be comfortable and healthy barefoot.
• Types of horseshoes and traction devices, modification devices, adhesives, materials, and more.
• Shoe loss—why it happens and how to prevent it.
• Farrier training—where and how it happens, how to find a good one and what you should expect.
• Horse handling for shoeing—how to prepare your horse and yourself.
• The future of farriery with 3D printing.
• And so much more.
With plenty of “adventures from the road” and lessons learned during his years of shoeing horses professionally, Kraus provides a guide that is not only massive in value, it's entertaining, to boot. An excellent resource for all serious horse people who wish to keep their horses comfortable and performing their very best while making informed decisions and having intelligent conversations with hoofcare professionals.

The equine hoof is a complex marvel of natural engineering, built to withstand tremendous forces and able to adapt to an astonishing range of environmental conditions. It also changes daily–for better or for worse–in response to external and internal factors. Few horse owners have the opportunity to acquire a deep understanding of the hoof, which limits their ability to advocate on their horses’ behalf and make informed decisions about hoof care and management. This book is the first resource of its kind to combine the most current and useful information available, gleaned from the research and wisdom of top hoof experts around the world, with a unique “hands-on” approach. The authors provide basic terms and anatomy, clearly illustrate the differences between healthy and unhealthy feet, discuss biomechanics and management concerns, and cover the causes, treatments, and prevention of commonly encountered problems, including laminitis, white line disease, and thrush. Along the way, readers are given activities to help them better analyze and understand the most important aspects of equine hoof health, such as hoof balance, depth of sole, and point of breakover. Easy–to–follow language, over 400 full–color photographs, and do–it–yourself exercises promise to empower horse owners and caretakers of all experience levels with the tools they need to accurately assess hoof health and keep their horses as sound and happy as possible.

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.

By G. Robert Grisel DVM
Lameness is the most common cause of poor performance in the horse. This makes management of his soundness over the long–term integral to both his general well–being and his ability to participate in recreational and competitive activities.
Unfortunately, most equine caretakers are unable to perceive abnormal movement in the horse, extending the period between the onset of a problem and its eventual treatment, and the longer an issue is allowed to persist, the greater the chance that it will progress. Many equine veterinarians also find it difficult to visually decipher lameness, which leads to lengthy, expensive, and often inaccurate diagnostic work–ups. It is with these two key audiences in mind that Dr. Bob Grisel has created a book unlike any other. With hundreds of illustrations, dozens of charts, and links to online videos of explanatory case studies, readers are given a complete course in observing, identifying, and decoding equine lameness. Dr. Grisel helps you interpret what is seen, plain and simple (no need for medical knowledge of equine anatomy and pathology). Whether first–time horse owner or seasoned professional, you are guaranteed to come away with a detailed, systematic, and comprehensive method for a happier, healthier equine partner.
