Horse
Owner's Guide to Natural Hoof Care

hoof
care, whether you want to do it your self, or just want to learn more
about it.
Making
Natural Hoof Care Work for You by P. Ramey. A must read for
would be barefoot trimmers, with lots of photos and plenty of
practical advice.

Barker and Sarah Braithwaite. Plenty of useful background information,
particularly about nutrition, but note that this is not a trimming
manual.
Natural

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,

Horsemanship through life deal more specifically with the Path of
horsemanship and its relationship with the martial art of Aikido.
