Thanks guys. I've got high hopes for this video series. I think it can help a lot of horses.

Again, thank you for your nice comments,

Pete

shoes ruin the feet over time--give the horse their feet back!

What I like about Pete is he believes in leaving the sole alone...over trimming or thinning the sole is a very serious thing and can lead to pedal osteitis and other problems. Pete had the guts to stand up for what he believes is best for the horse, no matter what political toes he stepped on. He really is a hero.

@confederaterocker89 You could say also, however- shoeing horses DOESN't HELP them either-

how can the foot contract - the way it's suppose to w/ metal & nails keeping the foot from spreading normally?? Eventually, the concussion (among other things) does hurt them. (I also don't think there is a horse alive that was born w/ shoes on is there??) Yes- horses were built to be barefoot.

I got rid of my shoer, started trimming my own horses feet (w/ helpful info from Pete) and for the past 5 years, my horses are moving great. My mare True raced all 155 miles (s. california, rocky and hilly, dry, terrain), (50 miler, 55 miler and 50 miler, back to back) completely barefoot and place 3rd over all w/ no problems. All my endurance horses have moved more openly and freely w/out shoes. 3 of my younger horses have never had shoes, which i love!

i love it when my horse lays his head on my shoulder while i trim him- reminded me of that very last shot on this video

[confederaterocker89]

trims have there place, but not every horse is built to be barefoot, not knocking it, just saying that shoeing horses doesn't hurt them

@ArchDandy1134 aye, have a thoroughbred cross as well who's previous farrier said her flat feet and underrun heels where just a breed trait. I've grown most of both problems out. Foot still needs to decontract some more and build more sole close to the wall, but she's moving great, got loads of concavity and the heels are getting better and better.

@erajinete nope, they're a complete school type course with thourough theory explanation and then shootings of how to trim. There's a lot of examples missing but those are being completed by the "that's my horse! dvd series

[DJBelbe]

@vettae I've been reading her method through and as a vet I understand the whys and the hows, but as someone who believes there are always 10 ways to kill a rabbit, I opted to look for more practical-in-real-life methods that woudn't require 3times/week trimming and special rubber floor. Pete Ramey found the answer and from all the methods i've studies, his is by far the more logical, effective and useful. Thank you Pete and Ivy!

Choked at the expsense of the video (or should I say colicked???). But the series are worth every penny. The tools of the trade video is even better.

Better spent money for prevention and treatment on these videos then vet bills and euthanasia expenses. Hate the music Pete. Like the music better on the tools of the trade video.

Thanks. When will the book be ready??? Thanks for everything you and Ivy have done for horse owners.

Does anyone know how or where to get the dvds in germany?

thank you :)

I really like Pete Ramey's methods... They are somehow logical :)

I remember a line from your book about wanting to trim a racehorse. I have practiced barefoot trimming, after buying your book, on my TB mare. She improved a ton, less interference while running at home, and crack-free! She is in foal now to the nice race stallion "Redattore", and the foal will be raised at home with me and will race barefoot. I wish I could show you pics of her feet, but I doubt you have the time, Thanks for helping me help my mare!
