 A real paradigm shift in horse keeping! March 10, 2008
Paddock Paradise is a book all horse owners should read. It's hard to change one's entire outlook on how horses should be kept, but it's worth it -- the way we have kept horses (stalled or confined to tiny paddocks) for so many years is light years from how they have evolved to live. Their feet suffer; their GI tracts suffer; their minds suffer.
Read the book and learn from it. Think about it. Maybe you will not make changes immediately or completely, but over time you may find yourself returning to it again and again and finally being won over. Your horse will thank you.
 Paddock Paradise - Practical or Not? November 2, 2007
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Jaime Jackson provides a lot of insight into Wild Horse "Ideal" conditions. Pictures are great, and there are a few items which most people could incorporate into their facilities. A lot of what he recommends is not practical for most people. (Multiple electric fences, ponds, sand pits, burying calcium etc) Some recommendations can be modified. Use common sense to make a true "Paddock Paradise". His other books and DVD's were wonderful, and gave a lot more practical ides,so I was a little disappointed in this book. If one has the time, resources or natural lay of the land to make this work, it is worth exploring.

A whole new way for the average person with a bit of land and a drive to practice optimal husbandry to create a stimulating world for their horses, to their health and deep contentment.
The difference between Jackson's approach and the usual fenced acreage is like the difference between an animal safari park and an old-fashioned bars-and-walls zoo. Creating physical, social, and ideally even emotional environments in which animals can believe they're in their primordial setup yields fascinating results when applied to horses.
Clearly and enthusiastically written--you will admire the author's creativity and sense of applied fun. Contains imagination-provoking diagrams and encourages you to improvise to accomodate your circumstances, geography, and herd composition. Highly recommended.
