The Sound Hoof, Horse Health from the Ground Up
by Lisa Simons Lancaster

From the publisher, "Lancaster takes a pragmatic approach toward the emerging field of holistic hoof care, a subject that is being heatedly discussed in the equine community, by documenting the latest science available regarding a balanced, healthy hoof and horse."

What I really like about this book is the neutral, yet very much pro-barefoot, postion of the author. There is no "right" or "wrong" way here, but simply a presentation of the information and research currently available. Great explanation of Duckett's Dot. This is also an ideal book for those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the whole barefoot concept - a gentle way to get anyone to start thinking about their horse's hooves. Don't miss the chapter "Action Gallery," which features tons of photos of barefoot horses in action! Softcover, 126 pages.
