Lameness can range from the barely perceptible to a horse hobbling along on three legs.
It can result from trauma, overexertion, poor conformation, or a variety of other factors. In the new video, Lameness, Blood-Horse Publications offers a comprehensive look at this sometimes complicated condition. You'll hear veterinary experts talk about what lameness is, how to recognize it, and what the owner or trainer should do. Dr. Mark Cheney, a well-known racetrack practitioner, conducts a comprehensive lameness exam and discusses why lameness can occur. Dr. Ric Redden, an authority on the equine foot, talks about laminitis, navicular disease, and other serious foot conditions.
