So too is the critical importance of good nutrition, housing, exercise and correct hoof care.
This book offers practical solutions and simple preventive measures. The emphasis is on the very important role you play as the horse's owner. In short, after reading this book you will know how to help your beloved horse to recover and remain healthy.
Additionally, 'Laminitis: understanding, cure, prevention' is a valuable resource for both veterinarians and hoof care providers. Unfortunately, many equine professionals often lack knowledge on this complex issue and laminitis is diagnosed too late or not even recognised at all. The commonly used treatments often prove ineffective because they are based on outdated ideas and theories, or because the focus is too much on the hooves only. This book aims to change that, bringing effective solutions through bringing the focus back on the whole horse.
