My copy of the new Pete Ramey book arrived yesterday, it looks really good, it is a large hard back with 31 chapters in it and includes contributions from people like Bowker, Kellon and Hilary Clayton. It was really expensive (£130 including shipping I think) but it looks like the sort of book you can dip in and out of and use as a resource for many years.
It's called Care and Rehabilitation of the Equine Foot, I would describe it as more of a medical text book however it is written in Pete's easy to understand style, even the bits not written by him are ok to follow whilst still covering quite heavy subjects eg Chaper 5 by Robert Bowker which is "The horses foot as a nuerosensory organ: How the horse perceives its environment".
My excuse for buying it (apart from the fact that I wanted it) is a birthday present for my other half, he is a bit of a slow reader so it may be a while before I get it back again. Unfortunately it was his birthday last Monday so I don't even get a couple of days before I have to wrap it, there is a temptation to buy him something else but I stupidly told him all about it .....
I will do a review of it once I have read it but first impressions are very good.
