BOOK REVIEW
“The Lame Horse”
revised and updated
by James R. Rooney, DVM

COVER STORY
African iron oil lamp.
For ceremonial purposes, it is
believed that the spirits of the
horse and rider are evoked
when eliminated by the oil
lamp cups beneath. Similar
equestrian figures were used
by West African people who
claimed that attacks could be
averted by holding a similar
sculpture in the direction of an advancing enemy.
