    LOL, I've actually got the DVDs that come with this series. There are 4 of them. A former client gave them to me before she moved away. She said they were over her head and didn't want to pack them. The one on disection is actually worth having if you can fine it cheap enough. "The Equine Hoof Exposed, a Dissection".

    I have the book and the whole DVD series. I wanted to try the hoof casting tape. When I ordered the casting tape, KC sent me the book and DVDs along with it. I have DVDs are out on loan to somebody - can't remember who.

    "The Lame Horse" is a remedial version of the works of Dr. Rooney; "Biomechanics of Lameness in the Horse", "Mechanics of the Horse" ,"Equine Pathology" and others. The "Good Doctor" was a dear friend and teacher with varied expereinces in teaching and writing from New Bolton, University of Kentucky, and the lab in Maryland where infectious diseases are tested for the military(the name escapes me).
    he was an equine pathologist.
    Used to take him and Audrey to dinner on the Eastern Shore when I was servicing customers in Maryland years ago. We would also sit in his study and throw hypotheticals and theories at each other with passion. He enjoyed the 25 yr old Glenlevet i would bring to parlay with.....:cool: 95A.jpg

    Thankyou Mr. Perry. Glenlevet is good stuff I hear. If I find "Mechanics of the horse" it might be better to start with that. I will be reading the book I ordered, if need be I'll have to read it more slowly. Thanks

    Thanks for the recommendation on the Rooney Lameness book. I've read a few chapters and it's just the kind of book I was looking for.

    I would like to know how many farriers didn't start as "horse owners"? If nothing else, an indepth book can let you know just how far over your head a topic is....or not. Karen,if you got the $140 to spend go for it. Beats fiction IMO.
