Laminitis, or founder, is a potentially devastating foot  condition that can affect any horse or pony. In this informative  booklet, the authors begin by explaining the events that lead to  laminitis-breakdown of the bond between the hoof wall and the pedal  (or coffin) bone-and why this condition can have such serious and  long-lasting consequences. Although laminitis is a complex condition,  the authors describe the process using simple terms and helpful  diagrams. The text is further enhanced by boxes containing additional  explanations, related items of interest, and particularly important  pieces of information.    The second section discusses the various causes and contributing  factors-conditions or situations that can cause laminitis or increase  the potential for it to occur. These factors include diet (lush  pasture, excess grain), body condition (overweight, cresty neck),  breed (ponies, Morgans, donkeys, Thoroughbreds), age (over 15 years),  activity level (inactivity, occasional strenuous exercise, exhaustion,  concussion), various diseases, drugs and toxins (cortisone, black  walnut, selenium, fescue), the horse's history (previous laminitis,  stress), various foot problems, and shoeing. The authors explain why  each of these factors may increase a horse's laminitis risk.    As the authors note, many of the possible causes of laminitis can be  foreseen, and therefore prevented.  This is the basis of the third  section, which discusses management strategies aimed at decreasing a  horse's laminitis risk. The advice is a solid combination of science  and horsemanship. For example, the section on Dietary Management  provides some practical suggestions for limiting access to lush  pasture, such as restricting turnout time, using a grazing muzzle, and  fencing off part of the pasture. At the same time, the authors show  how the riskiest time for a laminitis-prone horse to be on lush  pasture is between late morning and late afternoon, based on fructan  (soluble carbohydrate) levels in the grass. The chart on estimating  your horse's ideal body weight, using a simple measurement of his hoof  size, is a useful supplement to the section on weight management.    The booklet finishes with a page on assessing your horse's laminitis  risk, based on the number of risk factors that apply to your horse,  and a page of emergency care instructions if you suspect your horse  has laminitis. Rather than taking an alarmist approach to the topic,  the authors present the information in a matter-of-fact way and offer  sensible advice for decreasing a horse's laminitis risk. This short  book contains a wealth of information that will help you protect your  horse or pony from this disease.

One veterinarian's reverie on caring for our animals (and ourselves). "This book is as much a series of 'Notes to Self' as it is a guide for anyone else. I forget or ignore these little gems and need to remind myself of them almost daily. In fact, that may be our biggest struggle as modern humans: to get over our clever, sophisticated selves and act simply as nature designed us, as an interwoven and inseparable part of all life. That might just be my most important Note to Self."

"Growing Up in the Delta" tells the life story of author Christine King. As a young girl growing up in the Mississippi Delta, she realized at an early age that she needed a better education in order to have a better life. She wanted her children to be able to have things that she didn't have, and so she moved from the Delta to the North-where her life changed completely. Once moved, she decided to go back to school to better herself, a goal that required lots of hard work and many years to be achieved. She worked during the day while attending school at night, walking long distances to get to work and she sometimes working two jobs. She encountered countless stumbling blocks; sometime they seemed insurmountable, but she persevered until she achieved her dream. Despite her drive and ambition to succeed, however, she often found that she was on her own, with little or no support from the people around her. Even so, she refused to let them discourage her or deter her from her path. Intended as a reminder, keepsake, and inspiration to her descendants, "Growing Up in the Delta" conveys the message that everyone has the opportunity to find a better life. People can accomplish anything, as long as they are willing to work for it.

Lameness, one of the most common and most troublesome of all equine ailments, remains the primary reason why horses are unable to fulfill their potential and their riders' and trainers' expectations. More preparation time is lost, more competitions are missed, and more careers are prematurely ended because of lameness than any other condition. This book analyzes the causes, diagnoses, and management of the myriad causes of lameness: --Defining and identifying the lame leg; spotting gait abnormalities and non-muscular causes; physical examinations and evaluations; diagnostic tools and other tests; the role of the veterinarian and farrier in pre-purchase examinations. --Physical therapies; the applicability of rest, medications, and other veterinary procedures. --Hoof conformation and shoeing options. --Joint, bone, muscle, and tendon and ligament problems. --Neurological, dermatological, and developmental orthopedic causes of lameness. --Treatment of specific conditions to the foot, pastern and fetlock, cannon and splint bones, knee, upper foreleg, hock, upper hind leg, and back. No other book covers this vital subject in such a comprehensive and understandable fashion. For that reason, no other book deserves a more prominent place on the shelf of anyone who owns, trains, rides, or drives horses.

Loads of books and articles have been written about feeding dogs, and yet myths and misconceptions about how to feed dogs abound. Perhaps the most pernicious is that it's beyond the ability of the average person to do it well. I hear this concern often from dog owners who'd like to be making their dog's food but are too afraid to even try, for fear of getting it wrong. Let me relieve you of that notion right now. Feeding dogs well is not rocket science. If it were, then dogs would have died out long ago. You don't need a degree in nutrition to feed yourself and your family well. The same is true about feeding your dog. You simply need to understand the basics, a few essential principles, and go from there. Given how much information is available already, I thought what might be most useful is for me to tell you how I fed my own dog, Miss Lilly.
