"I wrote this book to help horse owners and professionals get the facts straight concerning natural hoof care.  Practically speaking, it's a step-wise trimming method using the sound hooves of wild horses as my model.  I've tested this  method extensively for over 15 years.  It works." 
  J. Jackson   

"This book on natural hoof care for your horse is a revelation to all of us who have blindly followed the tradition of shoeing our horses . . .  I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a more natural alternative to shoeing.  Happy trails!"     Buff C. Barr  (Amazon.com)
