Equine Lameness for the Layman

by G. Robert Grisel DVM

Our horses utilize a form of sign language that they convey by altering the movement of their body and limbs. Those of us who learn to assimilate this form of non-verbal communication will become effective observers of equine lameness.

With hundreds of illustrations, dozens of charts, and links to online videos of explanatory case studies, readers are given a complete course in observing, identifying, and decoding equine lameness. Dr. Grisel helps you interpret what is seen, plain and simple (no need for medical knowledge of equine anatomy and pathology). Whether first-time horse owner or seasoned professional, you are guaranteed to come away with a detailed, systematic, and comprehensive method for a happier, healthier equine partner.
