Natural Hoof Care

A Lifetime of Soundness by Dr. Hiltrud Strasser
This revolutionary book has changed the way we care for our horses. According to Dr. Strasser, "Most of the common health problems and lamenesses afflicting domestic horses are a direct result of man-made violations of their natural lifestyle, and can be prevented or cured through a removal of the cause and a return to a natural lifestyle."
