Promoting equine wellness based on the Wild Horse Model is the focus of my business. For details about 1-day public education symposiums, The Biology of Natural Horsemanship, please see the symposium page of this website.

Good hoof care requires an appropriate diet, footing, movement, training, and socialization. I recommend the following reference materials:

Constantly challenged by the variable climate of the Appalachian Foothills of Kentucky where I live, I am encouraged by works of Jaime Jackson, who continues to share his wisdom and insight into better horse-keeping practices based on his study of wild horses. I highly recommend his books Paddock Paradise and Founder: Prevention and Cure the Natural Way. These resources offer valuable suggestions for horse-keeping practices that support equine health in this ever-changing environment.

The domesticated horse's environment includes the human-equine relationship. Tactful training, both from the ground and under saddle, is critical to safety and psychological wellbeing. To this end, I recommend the book Ten Golden Rules of Horse Training, by Bruce Nock.

Horses that are ridden and used in a manner that encourages well-balanced biomechanics become more fit, athletic, and graceful. I recommend Liberated Horsemanship
