An essential illustrated horse owner¹s guide to soundness, hoof care, and shoeing for all riding sports.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
³No hoof, no horse² takes on new meaning with today¹s demanding sports and competitions. And since it takes considerable time and emotional involvement to develop an equine athlete, it is heartbreaking when a talented, well-trained horse is unable to perform due to an avoidable lameness. Maximum Hoof Power is a comprehensive guide to help horse owners develop proper hoof-care practices and to gain an understanding of shoeing techniques for the performance horse. A wide range of topics is covered, including factors that affect movement, selecting the right shoe, the shoeing process, choosing a farrier, coping with lameness, and corrective shoeing. Cherry Hill has taught university courses in riding, training, and management; she has written hundreds of articles as well as five books on equine topics, including Becoming an Effective Rider and 101 Arena Exercises. Richard Klimesh, a master farrier, specializes in therapeutic shoeing. Hill and Klimesh breed Quarter Horses and warmbloods on their Colorado ranch.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Basic Hoof Knowledge,
By A Customer
This review is from: Maximum Hoof Power: A Horseowner's Guide to Shoeing and Soundness (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for horse owners and farriers alike. For the horse owner, it is written in layman's language and easily laid out to find specific areas of interest. It is comprehensive and detailed enough to serve as an excellent reference tool for the farrier.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference for horse owners, veterinarians, and trainers,
By
This review is from: Maximum Hoof Power: A Horseowner's Guide to Shoeing and Soundness (Paperback)
This book packs a lot of information into a concise and easy to read format. As a full time professional farrier I believe that horse owners ought to be educated about hoof care and the role a farrier plays in the health of their horses. Maximum Hoof Power is THE HOOF CARE REFEREMCE MANUAL that I recommend to all of my clients. The Author, Richard Klemish is a highly respected professional in both the farrier the veterinary community. He is also one of the authors selected to write some of horseshoeing chapters in the veterinary textbook, "Adams' Lameness in Horses, 5th Edition."
You may want to consider making this book a gift to your trainer, veterinarian, or even your farrier!
