1. Horse Conformation: Horse Structure, Soundness and Performance: Excellent reference for the horseman.

A comprehensive handy tome of a reference guide that takes you through the conformation and structure of the horse including color, breeds, teeth and all physical aspects. Muscles, bones, feet and lots of great diagrams to illustrate the points.

Learn the relationship between conformation issues and athletic ability, how balance and symmetry are important, digestive and neurological, respiratory and circulatory issues and the relationship between structure and function. A good book to read cover to cover and welcome addition to the library for future reference. Certainly a great resource too for the horse buyer in any discipline.

2. Hoof Problems Rob Van Nassau. From hoof construction through correct trimming and shoeing and solutions for common ailments and issues. English Translation of Dutch Work. 2007 release in English.

Dive into this book and feast your mind. The horse and his hoof issues are extremely aptly discussed here with strong photography skills and case histories documenting each issue. The reader delves easily into the complexity of the hoof and the resultant limb and back issues that may result from foot problems. Logical writing begins with anatomy of the hoof and muscles/tendons, then the foot axis and limb conformation is discussed. You move on to cover trimming and special 'breakover' shoes. Then to extensive coverage of the disorders of the limbs and hooves in relation to hoof care and horseshoes. Over 1000 illustrations - and the illustrations are of the highest quality too.

thehorsestudio.com review; An awesome work with superior before and after camera work and a clear interpretation of all aspects of foot care. Sections on white line disease to sinker to toe inflammation to false quarters and dropped soles - plus everything in between. Modern day methods for treating the issues that arise are provided. I'd rate this book as a must have for any farrier, and certainly as a horse owner the knowledge is also invaluable. This book is extensively utilized in Holland by the veterinary community as well as the farrier, and the explanations and diagrams are extremely good. An admirable work. Highly Recommended.

Rob and Antoon van Nassau; both farriers renowned for their thorough knowledge and approach to hoof care for over thirty years. Rob is former European Champion Farrier and National Champion in Holland and he works as a farrier in a specialist equine veterinary clinic. His brother Antoon is also a specialist farrier and teacher.

Hardcover 2007. English translation; originally published in Holland under same title (as Hoef Problemen). 224pp
