You'll never put a shoe on a horse again in good conscience. -
I first heard of Natural hoof care through Joe Camp's book "The Soul of a Horse". I have had horses for years and boy was I blown away to finally understand what I was doing to my horses by putting shoes on them. I am an avid trail rider in the hills of Tennessee, so obviously going barefoot with a gaited horse, no less, seemed rather daunting. I ordered this book to better understand this whole concept. Pete Ramey's dedication to the wellness of all horses and his passion for learning all he can about the natural hoof of wild horses as well as natural care of horses pours through on every page. He presents the fundamentals of natural hoof care as well as the keeping and diet that is the necessary wholistic approach to "gravel crunching" hooves and a healthy horse, no matter what the horse is owned or used for. I had no knowledge of horse trimming or shoeing other than "watching" farriers - very good farriers - trim and shoe a horse. But Pete's book is written so comprehensively and so "in laymen" terms that readers will have no problem understanding. It is not a thick, complicated book, cumbersome in technicalities, but clean and simple just like the wild natural hooves he bases his studies on. The book is full of actual pictures from start to finish as well as diagrams that will lead even a doubtful reader (which I was) to the obvious truth. He was a "traditional" horse farrier and with humbleness shares what he used to think was correct to what he and Jaime Jackson (father and founder of natural horse and hoof care) have learned after years of studying wild horses. Suffice it to say that Pete has trimmed hundreds of horses and has never failed to bring a horse to soundness - (including many foundered horses and horses veterinarians suggested be put down) through what he teaches on these pages. The best money I have spent on horse stuff ever - and I have bought a LOT! Get it, you won't be sorry.
Excellent book for every horse owner -
Even if you shoe your horses this book has great information. It helped me understand what my horses hooves needed to do. We don't shoe our horses, and this has helped my boyfriend do a better job at taking care of our horses feet.
Excellent orientation to natural hoof care -
This book is a great orientation and tutorial for introductory natural hoof caregivers. It does pre-suppose that you know the basic anatomy of the hoof, but other than that, Ramey uses easy to understand language and photographs/diagrams to illustrate the concepts.
I would not recommend you go out and try a trimming after reading this book, but it does give you a basic idea of how natural hoof care works. Ramey does have a video/DVD series that is more comprehensive for those who want to learn natural trimming, which I also recommend. I STRONGLY advocate that anyone who wants to undertake this skill do so ONLY under the supervision of a skilled natural hoof care practitioner, as Ramey is very clear about "every hoof is different" and it is pretty easy to mess up your horse if you don't completely understand the skill involved.
Bottom line: Read this book. Then, go on to read and study more. Tell your horse friends. You may help save a few equine lives!

Horse Owner's Must-Have - 
This book should be in every horse owner's library. The illustrations are descriptive and very useful. The book does require you have a good working knowledge of the equine foot and states so in the book. I've learned so much about equine feet from this book.
