Understanding the Horse's Soles
How do we know when we have adequate sole thickness, excess thickness, or not enough? Easy. Nature gave us a trustworthy guide in the collateral grooves. If we learn to read them, we will never have to wonder what needs to be done or not done to the bottom of the foot.

Some contaminants in water, such as heavy metals, accumulate in your horses’ tissues over many years, resulting in chronic health problems. Know your treatment - and testing - options.

WILD HORSES
America's Vanishing Wild Horses
This black stallion Raven, his son Cloud, their family and herd taught me what wild horses value most . . . their families and their freedom - attributes we Americans can surely understand and embrace. We must all work together for their preservation, or accept their extermination.
