Natural Hoofcare Links
Marjorie
Smith, Barefoot for Soundness
The best, free site for learning about normal Barefoot trimming.
Great information,
no soap-boxes or ego trips, just good helpful advice and gives due credit to
all of the experts working in this field.
Marjorie also offers professional natural hoofcare advice at very reasonable cost.
Cindy

who has changed to Barefooting.

Gretchen
Fathauer, Treating Founder (Chronic Laminitis) without Horseshoes
This excellent site has huge amounts of information for anyone seeking answers
about laminitis and founder.
Based on the work of Dr Strasser, but it does include
a lot of information from other sources. The site is a bit heavy on blood and
scarey coloured photos; but if you actually have a horse with chronic or acute
laminitis, it is essential reading. It is an enormous site with many hours of
study if you follow the whole amount of material and links.

Natural
Balance Hoofcare
Gene Ovnicek, farrier: Some great stuff on trimming for Barefoot hidden in between
a lot of shoeing information.
I use Gene's "Live Sole Plane Reference" (though
I prefer to call it "Natural Sole Plane") all the time!!! I can strongly recommend
Gene's video "Natural Balance Hoof Trimming".

This site is one of the absolute top horse sites on the net. Over 1,100 pages of saddle horses, draft horses, BLM wild horses and burros, Survival Guide safety information, farriery, equine health, photo galleries, equestrian links & training information.
