5.0 out of 5 stars A New Concept in Hoof Care, January 25, 2000
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. Being a relatively new horse owner (two years) I had no idea letting my horse go shoeless could be possible. He's one of these sensitive types that can barely walk due to excessive sensitivity when his shoes are removed. Mr. Jackson says this is not natural but has been created by the use of shoes on the horse. This has caused the soles of his hoof to be sensitive and the walls of his hooves to be too thin. This can all be corrected by removing the horses shoes and trimming them properly, something Mr. Jackson describes in his book as power trimming. The goal is to eventually have the horses hooves resemble that of wild horses which Mr. Jackson has studied extensively. He describes in this book how to accomplish this, with lots of pictures and background information. He has chapters on what a natural hoof looks like and what an un-natural (shoed) one looks like, as well as chapters on tools required, how to handle difficult horses, how natural hoof care can conquer problems like laminitis, navicular, hoof contraction, sole abscesses, white line disease and others. There's also a good appendix in the back on where to get addtional info on learning more about this exciting process. I'm really excited about the possibilities for my horse, I'd love him to be in a more natural state and not have to rely on shoes for the rest of his life and with Mr. Jacksons guidance, I think it might be possible. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a more natural alternative to shoeing. Happy trails! Buff C. Barr

5.0 out of 5 stars Important news for horseowners, December 4, 1999
Jaime Jacksons study of feral horses led him to the knowledge contained in his first book, The Natural Horse. In his latest work he guides horseowners through a very difficult transition. There exists a deeply ingrained tradition and blind acceptance of the ancient practice of shoeing horses. Unfortunately shoeing horses is not good for them. Jaime explains why shoeing is detrimental. In a very clear and concise way Jaime walks horseowners through the education and practical processes of deshoeing. Every horseowner owes it to themselves and their horses to at least read this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Honestly, disappointed, September 29, 2006
For 300 pages, so little is said. I totally agree with all of Mr. Jackson's opinions on the natural hoof and the need to bring domesticated horses to a natural, holistic lifestyle to avoid the common and prevailing problems that plague a huge percentage of kept horses. He obviously has a deep understanding and wisdom on this point.

BUT one thing that really bugs the heck out of me is when I spend good money on a big fat book and am continuallly directed to "see resources to find out more in one of my other books." Grrr!! >:0( Just when something gets a little beyond the basics in this book, I'm told to go buy another of his books! It's an awful lot of repetition and fluff and peddling. He could easily have said the same things in a book 1/3 this size for a much more affordable price.

For the extremely green baby beginnner, this might be a fine book to get. But my advise- spend a couple of evenings searching out reputable names in natural hoof care on the web, what they have to say, and various forums on this topic. You'll learn at least as much as you would in this book. You'll also find oodles and oodles of photos of "bad" feet and perfect barefoot natural feet, learn terminology and see diagrams. You'll learn about natural rememdies, like the mild vinegar solution for white line disease, and about the optimal natural diet and environment to promote healthy feet.
