Natural Solutions HOOF CARE
There are many wonderful resources on the internet that provide education and resources to help you in your search for proper and natural hoof care.  Instead of duplicating information that is freely available, I will provide some of the best internet resources below.  These web resources also refer you to additional resources. I do not necessarily agree with all the information on these sites and offer them for your education. Educate yourself and decide for yourself. You are the one ultimately responsible for your horse's optimum care.

If you are interested in horse care services that include natural hoof care, body work, nutrition, horse training and educational seminars teaching covering many of these modalities, contact me for more information.   I have studied and/or been trained using Lyle E. "Bergy" Bergeleen, Dr. Strasser, Jaime Jackson and other hoof care methods.  You'll receive my understanding of these philosophies along with my experience and observations of horses and hooves.
