Laminitis: A Horse-Centred Approach

Laminitis: A Horse-Centred Approach

Laminitis: A Horse-Centred Approach presents a detailed, horse-centred perspective on laminitis, exploring the condition through biomechanics, whole-horse health, pathology, and the body's natural healing processes. It examines current approaches to understanding laminitis, challenges the view of laminitis as a disease in isolation, and considers how underlying health problems and supportive interventions can influence recovery and hoof healing.
