Principles of constructing arena and tracks, choice of materials, irrigation, dust, maintenance, specifics of gallop tracks, racecourses, lunge arenas, turf, indoors vs outdoors. I love this book. Footing galore! Color photos. This is the last copy in stock and we won't be selling it anymore. Cost new: $41.95. Our price: $15 plus post.

Multiple copies available. In Euros, equivalent cost is much higher; to clear out inventory, offered at $64 plus post while they last.
By James R. Rooney
Hardcover, 1974, first edition, 237 pages
Very lighted used book, front flap has been price clipped. Minor edgewear and rubbing along spine. This is THE book. The classic reference for biomechanics and lameness from the great and opinionated equine pathologist. Yes, there's a newer edition, but this one is great for reference and the source of so many diagrams that have become standard instructional media for lameness and conformation studies. Hats off to Dr. Rooney, whether you agree with him or not. Nice to have in hardcover. $25 plus post. Two copies left. Also one in softcover (also 1974 edition) $15.
