The third book ordered for my returning venture to trying to keep my own horses trims up to date. I am very pleased with all three and actually recommend all three-as they communicate differently-and the pictures are different, and what doesn't hit you in the nose in one-may jump out at you in another.As stated in the Novzorov book review-I also have purchased some power tools to help me- as I do not have the hand or back strength to keep all four of mine trimmed and ride them too! :)In my case-all the tools I purchased (A Ryobi cordless sander, an Electric Hoof Knife-with several discs-of which I have only had to use the heavier sander), a curved rasp from Star Ridge, and my old nippers...have got us back on track, without lameness or tenderness which they all experienced every time the farrier came-despite my begging him not to take so much...all at the cost of one and a half of his visits...a good investment if you ask me!The main critical message I have gotten from each of these books is leave the sole alone...REALLY!...I've struggled with farriers over the years with this-as it LOOKS "NEATER" if the sole is "cleaned up", the frog is pared to a neat triangle and the walls are rasped???? Get used to "balanced, but perhaps a bit rough appearance. If the horses feet are such a mess from neglect or disease-please seek a qualified farrier and keep up the maintenance!

This book is an amazing resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about hoof trimming and general hoof care. Ramey uses wild horses (who have virtually no hoof problems) as an example of the ideal hoof, and explains how domestic horses should be trimmed to account for their domestication. He also takes into account that every hoof is different, and demonstrates how to read the hoof to trim it appropriately. There are tons of great pictures and case studies that are very helpful and cover a wide variety of situations and problems. While I feel like this book is definitely written in a way that most everyone can understand, I do believe it's important to have a basic understanding of hoof anatomy and trimming/shoeing practices to get the full benefit of reading it. I worked in the horse industry for about 10 years and have spent a lot of hours holding horses for various farriers (and watching and asking lots of questions), and I felt this book was very easy to understand and I learned a LOT from it. After reading it, I realized that what separates the farriers I've considered "good" vs. "bad" over the years has been the use of the techniques Ramey explains. The only farrier that's ever been able to keep my OTTB sound basically trims him exactly the way Ramey suggests! I am looking to learn more about hoof trimming so I can trim my own horses, and I think this book definitely got me off to a great start.

This is the best hoof care book I've ever read. It is both clear and persuasive.When I became a horse owner in 1997, one of the great mysteries to me was hoof care. Everybody I talked to and everything I read told me something different. It took me a while to find a farrier I trusted, and two years later he had to give up his practice due to heath issues.About that time I attended a Clinton Anderson seminar in which he devoted almost a whole session to natural hoof care. He sang the praises of Pete Ramey. So I bought Pete's book.I was looking for a better understanding of hoof care in general, but I was also hoping to learn enough to start doing my own trimming. This book was a great help with both. Now for the first time I feel like I can look at my horse's feet and have some confidence that either they look like they're supposed to or I know what to do to make them better.I've been doing my own trimming for over a year now. Here's some advice for anyone who hopes to do the same. Ramey's book is not a beginner's guide. He assumes you already own farrier tools, know how to use them, and that you know how to stand while you pick up a horse's hoof.My advice is to start with just a $20 hoof rasp and some kind of a stand. I put a short piece of 4" PVC pipe on a wooden base, but an automotive jackstand or a real hoof stand would be better. Read the book, watch your farrier closely, ask lots of questions, and start applying what you've learned.In the beginning you won't get much done. You'll gain new respect for the difficulty of a farrier's job as you fight your horse and become exhausted before you finish the first hoof. If your horse wants to move, I find it helpful to do what Clinton Anderson calls "touch and rub" (or porcupine game in Parelli language) - cheerfully lead the horse away from the trimming area and have him turn little circles for a while, then lead him back to the trimming area and give him the option to stand quietly. Smile and repeat as necessary. At some point he will get it. The more frequently you go through the motions of trimming, the quicker your horse will learn to cooperate. My horse will stand quietly now without being tied.Even if your horse is an angel you will still become rapidly exhausted because you will be asking muscles to do something they've never done. So don't wait until it's time for the next trim before you pull out your rasp for the first time. Ramey recommends that you trim every four weeks, but I try to keep to a weekly schedule. Do what you can, concentrating on eliminating flare and maintaining a nice rolled edge on the hooves.If you miss several weeks you'll find it hard to catch up with just the rasp, and a good hoof nipper will set you back $40-$90, so you might want to call your farrier back and start over until you're satisfied you'll be doing all your own trimming. I shared the book with a friend who does his own trimming and learned a lot in a hurry by working with him.If Ramey ever comes my way with a seminar I'll try to attend. There's no substitute for being able to watch, ask questions, and get your hands dirty. Meanwhile, the book is a great resource. I think every horse owner should read it.Edit, 12/24/2009I bought some Clinton Anderson DVDs on the Black Friday sale. One of them was RFD TV Downunder Horsemanship episode 127, "Natural Hoofcare With Pete Ramey." This 2007 one hour episode of Clinton's TV show features Pete Ramey doing natural trims on two horses, with commentary as he works. Ramey's book was written in 2000, and he's learned a lot in seven years. He has become much more conservative, removing less material initially, as experience has taught him that much of what he once achieved by carving comes naturally with time. The video retails for $19.99. If you really want to master natural trimming, buy Ramey's ten DVD set, "Under the Horse," a full 20 hours of instruction for $250. He has additional DVDs available at [...]. But if you can't afford a $250 set of DVDs, the Downunder Horsemanship episode is an extremely helpful supplement to the book.

I bought this at the advice of my hoof care professional to get more familiar with natural hoof care methods. The information is very solid but the photography is low quality, which makes it harder to understand. Also, parts of the book are very repetitive and yet it glosses over other key information. If you are new to doing your own barefoot hoof trimming, this book may frustrate you more than educate you. I'll keep looking for a more comprehensive guide.
