 Well, hi. Thank you for coming here to listen about the hoof care. You know the thing about the hoof that's really troublesome is it's the most neglected, misunderstood, and it's the most ownership part of the knowledge and the horse and their care. We buy a horse, we can have up to $100,000 invested between the trailer, the land, the value of the horse, the barn. And yet we could be paying people that will be crippling our asset, our equine friend. And so this is why hoof care is so important because it's actually the number two killer of the horse per veterinarians. Veterinarians say it's number two. I actually think it's number one, along with colic. The reason is is most horses are not given that number when they die. If you have a horse out on the ranch and it's been lame for years and you put it down, the veterinarians don't know that you put that horse down for lameness. So the interest in hoof care has expanded since 1999, and that's when the barefoot movement began. I want everyone to know I'm not against shoes, I'm just against bad trimming. And the problem with shoes is that people will go to the shoeing schools, they'll spend six weeks learning about how to apply a shoe, and possibly three to five days of actual anatomy and hoof care. It's a trimming that's crippling our horses. Now we don't use our horses as a tool, we have them as our equine friends. And because of that, it's our responsibility to take care of them. What we did with the horse when we brought them into our lives is we took away their ability to take care of their teeth, their feet, and their diet. And as good stewards, that's why we're all educating ourselves so that we can keep our animals longer and more comfortable. And more comfortable with hoof care is important. The horse has the smallest ratio heart per body size. It uses its hooves as a circulatory support system. And the donkeys do too. We're really fortunate to have an equine in our lives. For centuries, for thousands of years, they were used as a war tool, an agricultural tool. They're how we got around. But now we have automobiles, we have a different way to communicate and move, and because of that, they've now become pets. And unfortunately for our equine animals, they need movement, and we don't give them the movement. Very few of us are able to come and get our animals out every day and ride them for 10 to 15 miles. And what that does is it changes their circulation to their organs, causes them to stand so that their legs are impaired. And the one thing that's very affected is their hooves. The hooves need natural wear. And people say, well, how can my horse's feet don't wear or they grow too fast or there's a complaint? There's a recipe in everything in life. There's a recipe inside this hoof capsule on how to maintain it so that the foot will keep its shape. Because it's just a shell for the internal structures inside. This shell is what we learned to trim correctly so it doesn't interfere. Because unfortunately this shell that's to protect the vital parts inside the foot can become lethal through contraction, disease, and imbalance. So come with me on this journey because it's so important. It's been a passion of mine for 20 years. I've probably dissected 400 legs. I did a six-year research with desiccating beetles so I understood bone remodeling. What I found was that many of the books that are sold and popular today, they're incorrect. Myths become told over and over again and a lie becomes a truth. My research has tried to dispel the myths, find the answers, and everything I'm going to show you, you can prove to yourself. I don't teach myth and I want you to understand that you are responsible for your horse. You are the first line of defense. Nothing goes to your horse except through you. And if you maintain a lack of knowledge, you will let people come to your home. You'll be paying thousands of dollars and maybe six years of this investment crippled your horse. And so now you have a beloved horse you can't ride, you can't use them the way you want. Now what do you do? You learn how to fix it. And that's what I hope to share with you.
