Adam's Lameness In Horses

O. R. AdamsIn the absence of a modem textbook on the subject, Dr. O. R. Adams compiled his own Veterinary Notes on Lameness and Shoeing of Horses with the assistance of the class of 1957 of Colorado State University. This material provided a basis from which the equine lameness course was taught at Colorado State University. While Dr. Adams was on sabbatical leave in Kenya, copies of these notes were sent to colleagues in other universities for their comments. They were received favorably. Upon returning from Africa, Dr. Adams was encouraged by Lea & Febiger to develop the notes into a textbook. The first edition of Lameness in Horses was published in 1962, even as new information and developments were appearing. Always seeking to improve the next edition, revisions were started as the previous one was sent to print. Dr. Adams' love of horses and his pride in the veterinary profession continue to be apparent in this new revision capably edited by Dr. Ted Stashak. – Nancy M. Adams
