Advocacy
WILD, FREE-ROAMING HORSE

Many of you are already familiar with my model for natural hoof and horse care through my writings. I look to the wild horse because he represents truth. The wild horse teaches us unequivocally about the true meaning of equine naturalness.

Being natural means being healthy and sound.

For many horse lovers and professionals, that's reason enough to embrace the wild horse as our teacher and guide. 

Those of us at the forefront of the "natural hoof and horse care revolution" have learned that the wild horse model can help domestic horses. Applied judiciously and humanely, lame horses can be returned to soundness whilst sound horses can be kept sound. 

I've studied wild horses for years and adapted my observations and experiences to helping domestic horses. This model of understanding is applicable to every facet of horse care, from the hooves to saddling to diet.

My advocacy for the protection and preservation of America's wild, free-roaming horses is carried out under the auspices of the AANHCP.

"I SHOULD HAVE LIKED to draw the attention of the whole learned fraternity of blacksmiths, who mutilate horses, the world over. The hoofs were as solid and as sound as ivory, without a crack or wrong growth of any sort. It is noticeable that the equine race, in its wild state, has none of the ills of the species domesticated. The sorrows of horse-flesh are the fruits of civilization. By the study and imitation of Nature's methods, we could greatly increase the usefulness of these valuable servants, and remove temptation from the paths of many men who lead blameless lives, except in the single matter of horse-trades."
