New Pete Ramey Book - Care and rehabilitation of the equine foot

[Cloud_cirrus]

I am so excited, my copy of the new Pete Ramey book arrived today from America.  I have only had a quick flick through but it looks really interesting, lots of contributing authors including Robert Bowker, Hilary Clayton and Eleanor Kellon.  It has a text book type feel to it but written in a way that is easy to read, it is also possible to dip in and out of it which I like, loads of photos and diagrams as well.

I am hoping to read a fair bit of it before I hand it over to the OH as really it is his birthday present, there are 31 chapters so this could be quite an endeavour.

Any one else got it?

Sadly i haven't! I really want a copy though but will have to wait a while i think.

How much did it cost you inc postage if you don't mind?

[Cloud_cirrus]

It was expensive $205.95 including shipping which I think worked out about £130.  I justified it that the OH is very difficult to buy for so it was pretty much his only present, plus I get to use it as well.

Yikes, that's a pricey book!!  I hadn't heard anything about it though, so I'll go and investigate.  I've got a lot of time for Pete, he talks in a language people can digest easily and gain confidence from.    I'll certainly try to get a copy.  Thanks

Got his In the Trenches DVD last year - can the xmas fund run to this???

so what's the verdict on the pete ramey book?

[ParisDiamond]

Well I'm sorely tempted to buy it, looking at the contributors, there are some well respected veterinarians and scientists contributing to it, along with a serious dose of magnification photographs....maybe Santa will bring me one.  It'll be very useful to use when visiting clients to show them what's going on inside.

hmmm me too...

The bit I got to see of it I really liked.  My OH reckons 'it's ok' but doesn't seem in a hurry to lend it to me to finish reading ......
