For as
long as horses have been involved in the lives of humans, be it work, play or
as a companion, the proper maintenance of their feet has been an age-old
practice. The care and maintenance of the horse’s foot is a primary
concern for all that are responsible for the care of horses, whether barefoot
or shod. This video will give you new insight and direction into the
maintenance of the equine foot and the many factors needed to be considered
when natural hoof trimming techniques are employed. It will also help you
understand the needs of the equine hoof, as well as assist you in determining
whether your horse can comfortably go without shoes in his domestic environment
and perform at his expected level of use.
It has become obvious with
the research done by Gene Ovnicek and other well-known clinicians that the
feral horse offers a direction to follow for domestic horse hoof care.
Nutrition, environment, life-style, and climate combined are the components
that are responsible for shaping what appears to be the optimal model for
maintaining the health of the equine foot.
In this video, Gene Ovnicek
will present information on trimming methods to help you maintain a healthy
foot in domestic horses. Gene will discuss basic hoof anatomy and how it
relates to the biomechanical needs of the hoof. He will discuss the importance
of evaluating the environment and how it plays a role in trimming maintenance
as well as in decision making when determining if individual horses can be
successfully left barefoot. Gene will then demonstrate natural balance hoof
trimming techniques, from how to evaluate the pre-trimmed hoof to actual
trimming instructions, which will help balance the structures in the hoof for
optimal function.
Whether you are a farrier looking to get first hand
information on Natural Balance Hoof Care, or a concerned horse owner wanting to
get a better understanding of the needs of their horse's feet and how to assist
in their maintenance, this video is a must. “Natural Balance Hoof Trimming
- A Common Sense Guide to Servicing the Needs of the Equine Foot" is now
available for only $40.00 – a tremendous value considering all of the hard
core information you are receiving. That's over an hour and a half of
