Dr. James Rooney, former Director of the University of Kentucky’s Gluck Equine Research Center, was among the world’s foremost experts on lameness. Author of the best selling book, The Lame Horse, Rooney spent a lifetime studying the biomechanics of horses. He applied what he learned about how horses move to determine the causes of lameness and how to prevent, treat and rehabilitate injuries. His findings are released in his two-part series, Rooney’s Video Guide to Lameness; Part I - The Front Leg and Part II - The Hind Leg and Back.
