Amazing, VERY informative site dedicated to the subject of the
barefoot horse
and barefoot/physiological trimming techniques based
upon the research of Dr. Robert Bowker.
The newest
thinking...excellent articles...excellent guidelines...comprehensive and
just spectacular!

Too few horse owners have been exposed to the newest research on the
best diet for the health of the horse.
With laminitis on the
rise, it's time to seriously re-evaluate your feeding program.
Kathryn Watts,
a professional agricultural contract researcher and
consultant, offers up her expertise on the subject.
Leslie Desmond
Truly one of my horsemanship idols. If she ever appears at an event
or a clinic near you, GO!
You can also purchase
Bill Dorrance's
book on her website, and it is a
MUST HAVE if you're serious about
your horsemanship.
Mark Rashid
Mark has the sort of thoughtful approach that finally set me on the right
path.
If you can't arrange to attend his clinics, his books are all excellent
resources.
Mark writes in a very enjoyable to read, story-telling format with lots of
great ideas
that you'll go back to again and again.
The Soul of a
Horse
Life Lessons from the Herd
Joe Camp's amazing new book...a must read, even if you DON'T have horses!
Wings Horse Transport
If you ever need your horses hauled, Mitch is the guy to call. No
ifs, ands, or buts.
How to Rig
a Night Latch
You can purchase them, too, but all you need is a length of rope to rig
one yourself.
If you ride with me, I'll make you get one, so here's
the how-to.
Dunlight Studio
See, I told you I was obsessed with horses...when I'm not in their
company, I paint them.
This site is dedicated to my equine art.
I happily accept commissions,
and offer lots of prints and apparel for
sale here.
Suncoast Farm
Emma & Mike Spurling's amazing facility in San Ysidro, California,
where
my horses live a very ideal lifestyle.
