Book Description
An essential illustrated horse owner¹s guide to soundness, hoof care, and shoeing for all riding sports.
From the Publisher
³No hoof, no horse² takes on new meaning with today¹s demanding sports and competitions. And since it takes considerable time and emotional involvement to develop an equine athlete, it is heartbreaking when a talented, well-trained horse is unable to perform due to an avoidable lameness. Maximum Hoof Power is a comprehensive guide to help horse owners develop proper hoof-care practices and to gain an understanding of shoeing techniques for the performance horse. A wide range of topics is covered, including factors that affect movement, selecting the right shoe, the shoeing process, choosing a farrier, coping with lameness, and corrective shoeing. Cherry Hill has taught university courses in riding, training, and management; she has written hundreds of articles as well as five books on equine topics, including Becoming an Effective Rider and 101 Arena Exercises. Richard Klimesh, a master farrier, specializes in therapeutic shoeing. Hill and Klimesh breed Quarter Horses and warmbloods on their Colorado ranch.
