Horse Owners Guide to Natural Hoof Care by Jaime Jackson 
In this book Jaime Jackson guides horseowners through the difficult transition from conventional hoof care to natural hoof care. There exists a deeply ingrained tradition and blind acceptance of the ancient practice of shoeing horses. Unfortunately shoeing horses is not good for them. Jaime Jackson explains why shoeing is detrimental. In a very clear and concise way he walks horseowners through the education and practical processes of deshoeing. Every horseowner owes it to themselves and their horses to at least read this book.
