About this ebook
Keeping horses comfortable and sound can be a complicated and often times stressful process not only for the owner, but also for hoof care professionals. The author started her learning journey out of personal frustration with these issues. Her goal was initially just to find solutions for her own horses. Eventually her hoof research provided results applicable to every horse.
This book is a new look at the hoof, focusing on a detailed look at its morphology (shape) and function, and discussing implications for how the hoof should be trimmed and cared for. A must for anyone wishing to be well-versed in the hoof, readers will gain new insights from this book not found in other hoof related publications. This book contains over 300 color images of the foot and will be an excellent addition to your hoof care resources.
