Contents of Issue #71
Introduction: While this issue is all about new products coming into America from around the world, stop a minute and think about those who came before us, and what they had for tools and supplies and medications. Two words: not much. Let’s try to keep this new product information in perspective, and not lose sight of the horse or the long-term implications of a super-speedy return to the show ring or track. Most of all, stop and listen to senior experts like Bob Skradzio (page 48), whose primary tools have always been his trademark hands and a keen understanding of what makes a horse work, inside and out. In this issue: International Indicators: French Conference Has the Right Attitude Bluegrass Laminitis Symposium 1999:More to the Foot Than Fashion Foot Models: Three-Dimensional Evaluation of Diseased and Injured Feet The New Market: Product Guide for 1999 Hoofcare Visits Equitana You Can Tell A Lot About a Man by Looking at His Hands: Bob Skradzio Remembers Regular Features On the cover: From left to right: knowledge of anatomy, medical techniques, and shoeing expertise, and finally a horse with courage and spirit, are the factors in the equation of our profession. Photos by Jean-Marie Denoix, Texas A&M, Alice Johnson (Bob Marshall), Chris Pollitt (Isabel Werth and Gigolo).
