Founder: Prevention and Cure the Natural Way

Rating:
Summary: a miracle!
Review: This book has literaly been a life saver! I was told that my serevely neglected 20 yr old Assateague pony would never walk again and that the humane thing to do would be to put him down. he had 90% rotation in both front feet and could only stand for an hour at a time. he is now comfortable, walking, and is on his way to being sound to ride! this book gave us hope that there is a better way to treat foundered horses and that even the most severe cases are reversable. it is a long road, with no overnight cures, but the results are more than worth it. never give up hope!

Summary: A cure for founder!
Review: This book is amazing, as an owner of a foundered horse, it summarized a way for me to CURE my horse of founder. Jaime Jackson is an experienced farrier who spent years studying wild horses, with an interest in what makes them more sound than our domestic horses. His keep-it-simple, logical approach to treating founder is refreshing. I read about his approach to "natural" horsekeeping, and adopted his practices to my best ability, and my horses are all happy, sound and founder-free. My 24 year old, previously foundered, Missouri Fox Trotter is now sound to ride without horseshoes! I would have never dreamed that this is possible. He has NEVER gone without shoes. Anyone who has tried "conventional" founder and navicular treatment for their horses should read this book. His "resources" section is empowering to the horse owner! Jaime Jackson and Dr. Strasser will eventually change the way many people keep horses. I know I will not need to ever nail on a horse shoe again after reading this book and researching Jaime Jackson's "resource section" in this book. Great work Mr. Jackson!
