Synopsis

This book explores the author's theory that conventional horse-shoeing practices damage horses' feet and legs. The author presents evidence from his own experiments and observations, as well as from the work of other experts in the field. He argues that traditional horseshoes prevent the foot from expanding and contracting naturally, which leads to a variety of problems, including lameness, corns, and quarter cracks. The author proposes an alternative method of shoeing that he believes is more natural and less harmful to the horse's foot. He provides detailed instructions on how to apply this method, and he discusses the benefits that he has seen from using it. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the welfare of horses and wants to learn more about alternative shoeing methods. The author's insights on the importance of natural foot function have helped to advance the field of equine podiatry and improve the lives of countless horses.
