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.

Excellent body of work on the natural hoof and how to achieve it. Contains some very good pics of wild horse's hoofs and confirms the fact; that nature has it right. Keep spreading the word Jamie, God knows the horses need it!

Well organized book with step by step instructions for natural trimming August 6, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really am enjoying this book. It will serve as a great reference for me if I can manage to get it back. I am already offering to loan it out to friends because it is so full of information, has great photos and clear instructions on how to trim. I found the writer to be non-nonsense and extremely clear. The only disappointment I have is that he refers to a companion video and I never got this, nor did I know it even existed. Even so, the instructions are clear enough that you can figure out what to do without the video I think. I really like this guy because he was a long-time farrier and so he really has had lots of experience with horses feet. He dispels myths about lots of things people tell you in order to keep your horse in shoes. H e obviously has the horse's best interest at heart. I recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of having their horse go barefoot or already has a barefoot horse. It appears to be a reliable source of information and it is written with such clarity. If you haven't gone barefoot yet, I think you will after you read this book.
