Feet First: Barefoot Performance and Hoof Rehabilitation by Nic Barker and Sarah Braithwaite. Plenty of useful background information, particularly about nutrition, but note that this is not a trimming manual.
Natural Horse Care, by Pat Coleby. Invaluable information about nutrition and natural treatment of a variety of equine ailments.  Should be in every horse owners library.
The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd by Joe Camp. New comer to horses discovers natural horsemanship. Very useful book.

Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse, by Mark Rashid. Cowboy finds out that his horse has a lot to teach him. 
All of Mark Rachid's book are well worth reading but his latest books, Nature in Horsemanship and Horsemanship through life deal more specifically with the Path of horsemanship and its relationship with the martial art of Aikido.
