Jaime Jackson is a 40 year veteran farrier turned NHC practitioner, researcher, author, and advocate for humane Horse care practices.
Laminitis lays out Jackson\'s most current thinking and strategies for dealing with this insidious disease of the horse.
It doesn\'t, and the intent of this book is to show why, while pointing to a good path to get ourselves and our horses on \'at all costs\'.
But we\'ll never see any of it, if we persist in the delusion that the current stream of \'profits at all costs\' -- the industrialization of laminitis -- equates to the well-being of the horse.
There is no shortage of things that we all can, and should, do to support this end: more responsible Horse ownership, good science, good research, safe feeds, safe drugs, and a revolutionary new vanguard of allied services that inure to the healthful vitality of the horse, not a perpetual state of laminitis.
So, the answer lies not in a drug-addicted world of \'treating symptoms\' but in the holistic fold of Equine vitality.
