"There is no comparable book in this field. As the first comprehensive book on equine laminitis, this will set the standard for years to come. Students, veterinary practitioners, and researchers will all find parts of it useful for their levels of expertise and experience...Anyone aspiring to equine practice will need to read and understand the various aspects of laminitis this book presents, or be forced to find the same information in widely-disparate sources. This book is, by far, the easiest method to comprehensively study this subject." (Doody Enterprises 31/03/2017)
