Biography
Jean-Marie Denoix is a worldwide authority on applied equine anatomy, biomechanics, imaging, and the clinical diagnosis of equine lameness. He is a horse rider, a qualified trotting driver, and an informed spectator of everything equestrian, dissecting all horse movements to understand their genesis and consequences.
"…a herculean effort at illustrating the movement of the horse with photographs and color-accented line drawings of active muscle groups … The artwork, photographs, and color used in the book are brilliant and serve readers and author well."
—Jonathan Hale Foreman, DVM, MS, University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine for Doody's Review Service
