Providing clear instructions in an atlas-style format, The Illustrated Horse’s Foot: A Comprehensive Guide helps students learn to accurately identify, diagnose, and treat foot problems in horses. Full-color clinical photographs show structure and function as well as the principles of correct clinical examination and shoeing, and a companion website located at pollitthorsesfoot.com adds videos depicting equine foot cases. With more illustrations than any similar text, this resource is unmatched for its coverage of equine conditions ranging from laminitis to foot cracks, infections, trauma, and arthritis.

    • Comprehensive coverage addresses a wide range of equine foot conditions. 
    • A unique collection of MIMICs shows beautifully detailed anatomical images of the hoof.

    • Step-by-step case histories follow equine patients from initial presentation through diagnosis to treatment and outcome.
    • Expert author Chris Pollitt is a pioneer in the use of advanced radiographic, CT, and MRI technology for imaging equine foot and laminitis problems to facilitate accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
