As an "engineer turned farrier" I find this book to be a valuable reference. However, I'm not sure that someone lacking a background in physics would be able to understand the information. The contents are very technical and you might find your "left brain" working overtime to obsorb the data. IT AIN'T LIGHT READIN' FOR SURE, but Newton and Archimedes would love this book!!!
There is also a "dummed down" version of this book available. For folks who get a headache trying to understand vector mechanics and angular momentum try The Dynamic Horse A Biomechanical Guide to Equine Movement and Performance instead.

This book provides a number of scholarly articles that are both comprehensive and thorough in regards to their subject. However, if you are interested in just learning more about how your horse moves or gait abnormalities and their causes, you are better off getting a book on your breed's conformation or a book on lameness. The information is academic in nature- if you are an academic I'm sure it is a terrific book. However, even for interested, experienced, and capable horse owners, this book has very little useful day to day information.
Rated by buyers -
This extensive treatment of the science of movement of horses is destined to serve as an important reference work for decades to come. Essential for the serious scholar of horse gaits and performance.
