Very informative August 16, 2009

This book is a must for every farrier/horse lover/horse owner. It is very descriptive and lots of photographs! I can highly recommend this book.
Hoof problems review July 12, 2009
FLgourdlady "Barb" (Florida)
I just received the Hoof Problems: book and it is a great book with excellant photos and descriptions of different hoof conditions, but I have to say it is not the kind of book that is for the backyard owner doing his or her own trimming. This book is more for a farrier who does hooves as a profession. The problems and remedies are beyond anything the average horse owner would be taking care of.
Yes, the average horse owner can read it and gain a lot of knowledge that will confirm to them the old saying "no hoof, no horse". This may encourage them to take better preventative care of their horses feet.
Great photos and illustrations of horse hooves January 26, 2009

I have really enjoyed this book. It gives a great description of healthy and correct balance and conformation of horse hooves and limbs. It gives even better photos and descriptions of just about every hoof problem you can imagine. The author and his twin brother both work as farrier hoof specialists in conjuction with a veterinary surgeon, so there are many case descriptions explaining both the cause and treatment of the hoof problems they have worked on. This book is very easy to read and I would recommend it to all horse owners who would like a better understanding of horse hooves.

I found this book to be very informative with good detail. It was good enough I could over look the few plugs for the authors' products.
