Description



About the Book



These hoof care guidelines are based upon field observations and measuring data gathered during Jackson's original four-year study of wild horses, first referenced in his 1992 landmark book, "The Natural Horse: Lessons from the Wild".



Book Synopsis



Using the tough, polished-looking hooves of the Great Basin mustang as the picture perfect model of health and soundness, wild horse expert and veteran hoof care professional, Jaime Jackson, discovered he could consistently stimulate natural growth patterns in the hooves of domestic horses simply by mimicking the natural wear patterns of these wild, free-roaming equines. Rooted in the fundamental laws of nature, these Guidelines use elements of math, science, art and common sense to provide exact trimming and measuring instructions--and get excellent results!

  • Identifying and mimicking key natural wear patterns to generate naturally shaped hooves.
  • Never "soring" or over-trimming any hoof.
  • Why a corrective trim--isn't!
  • Trimming in harmony with a horse's natural break-over, conformation, and gaits.
  • Trimming laminitic hooves or a club foot.
  • Activating key structures to stimulate growth in over-shortened or 'invaded' hoof capsules.
  • Restoring "run under" and "slipper toe" hooves to their natural shapes and angles.
  • Taking precise angle and length measurements.



Review Quotes




"I can only say that this is a great work! Deep, extensive and so well articulated. As any art that first needs some study through the principles and then practice, this book does it all. Moreover, it is a Jaime Jackson life long journey in NHC. Very precious..." -- Dario Arcamone "Certifiied Natural Hoof Care Instructor & Professor, American University in Florence, Italy"

"This book should be bought by anyone involved with equines in any way, across all disciplines and care, no matter what their point of view, I think it is one of the most important books written on equine care to date and is deserving of everyones full attention!" -- Dominic "Nick" Hill, Natural Hoof Care Practitoner "Submitted on Facebook"
