& holistic horse care.
Excerpts of the introduction by Peter Laidely...
There has been a lot written about “natural lifestyle”, environment, nutrition, exercise and medication for horses. Without undervaluing these subjects, I want to concentrate on understanding the normal form and function of the horse’s foot and the process of trimming to best maintain that form and function.
I assume that every horse was born Barefoot and make no apology for the fact that I remove horseshoes
whenever I can. It is the way I do things and it solves a lot of problems.
I do not need to pretend that I work miracles every day or that my horses, or my clients’ horses, are particularly special other than to me and their owners. Each horse is an individual with individual strengths and weaknesses. Most of my clients do not have big budgets or expensive horses. Many of them have companions and friends that they just want to keep as healthy as possible.
We have seen remarkable improvements in health and performance when we changed these animals from either being shod, or unshod but neglected, to being high performance “Barefoot”. Conditions which defied healing with expensive therapeutic shoeing responded better to economical care. Muscle pain which kept re-occurring when the horse was shod, now responded to the massage or chiropractic treatment.
And my greatest reward has been to see young (and some not so young) owners learn to communicate with, and care for, their own horses.
