Natural hoof care is now being recognized as the most important new direction in horse care. At the forefront of this artful science is Pete Ramey, experienced natural hoof care practitioner. Pete has written Making Natural Hoof Care Work for You for horse owners, vets, and, of course, hoof care providers, wanting "straight talk" and reliable information on how to "cross-over" into natural hoof care. Pete's book is written in an easygoing, maverick style, that will guide you with confidence away from the pitfalls of shoeing and into the heart of true natural trimming, booting, and natural horsekeeping practices.
