Big news! Pete Ramey's Under the Horse DVD series gets a very important review from the American Farriers Journal. The barefoot concept is definitely not a fad but a concept accepted by even the brightest thinkers in the horse industry.
"Pete
Ramey’s set of DVD’s is without a doubt a must-have series for any
equine professional farrier or horse owner. While he is an advocate of
barefoot trimming, there are many ideas that you can learn from this
package regardless of how you trim and shoe horses. In these 10 DVD’s,
Pete Ramey spends 16 hours covering topics ranging from basic anatomy,
biomechanics, nutrition, laminitis, navicular issues and problem feet.
All are discussed in a clear, no-nonsense approach.
This series is filled with detailed information that all equine
professionals can use. Everything is explained in such a way that
everyone can benefit from Ramey’s knowledge and learn new ways to unlock
tremendous healing powers from the horse’s hooves. It focuses on the
ability to demonstrate the steps that are needed to drive a pathological
hoof toward a healthier state. A combination of contemporary veterinary
research and practical real-world field work will help viewers arrive at
sound protocols that can be put to immediate use with any horse.
In 9 hours of classroom instruction, you’ll learn about the mechanics of
trimming and how to effectively bring positive changes to the hoof over
time. You’ll also develop a deep understanding of the internal hoof
structure and see how it impacts a horse’s performance.
Following the lecture portion, you’ll view 7 hours of trimming on live
horses suffering from a wide range of hoof concerns. This includes
assorted breeds, a foundered mule and a draft horse. Finally, the DVD
walks you step-by-step through an emergency call with a laminitic horse
suffering from a 20-degree rotation. You’ll evaluate the trimming and
progress during a number of visits with this laminitic horse.
Pete Ramey offers wisdom and insight that his years of practice and
study have given him. If you own only one shoeing DVD series, this
should be it."
