Description
The Natural Trim Principles and Practice by Jaime Jackson is a comprehensive guide to stimulating natural growth patterns in horse hooves. By studying the wear patterns of wild horses, Jackson has developed a system for trimming domestic horses that promotes health and soundness.
This book provides exact trimming and measuring instructions, rooted in the fundamental laws of nature, using elements of math, science, art, and common sense. It shows how to identify and mimic key natural wear patterns to generate naturally shaped hooves, without over-trimming or "soring".
By following Jackson's guidelines, horse owners can restore their horses' hooves to their natural shapes and angles, activating key structures to stimulate growth in over-shortened or 'invaded' hoof capsules. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve the health and well-being of their equine partner.
