New books for 2008  Molly The PonyBy Pam Kaster Molly the Pony tells children (and adults) the story of an abandoned pony found weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. While at a rescue facility, Molly was attacked by a pit bull. The only way to save her was to amputate one front leg below the knee. Read the story of her rescue from the storm and the vets and shelter owner who rescued her a second time. Great color photos of vets at Louisiana State University and her artificial leg and hoof and her new role as a celebrity survivor helping others overcome fears and injuries, of all types.

With the aid of over 1000 high-tech photographs, internationally renowned farrier Rob van Nassau looks at every aspect of hoof care, and describes in detail more than fifty common foot problems.

This is especially effective in the anatomy section, where the technique is helpful to show the change in structures during phases of the stride. (click here to read more)
This is the first book to truly focus on grazing stance, shoulder angle, chest width, back pain, "handedness", crookedness, etc. and their effect on horses with mismatched feet and/or limb deformities and gait asymmetries.

Again and again, the author returns to the hoof as the dynamic structure that is the victim of weightbearing, and how to recognize problems. (click here to read more)
Little has been written on the well-bred horses that made up 80 percent of the transportation of the German army in World War II. Did you know that more horses were used in World War II than in any other war in history? The German military used the services of 37,000 farriers-think about that-and 236 companies of veterinarians. Their hospitals treated over 100,000 horses a day, with the remarkable success rate of 70 to 75% of sick and injured horses being sent back into service. (click here to read more)
