Feet First Barefoot Performance and Hoof Rehabilitation

Performance Barefoot takes horses through the process of hoof rehabilitation, removing metal shoes, transitioning hooves and creating barefoot performance horses which will compete in any discipline from dressage to show-jumping to eventing and endurance.

It has been taken for granted that shoes protect a horse's fee. This book challenges the notion that shoeing is essential and demonstrates that horses' hooves are capable of high levels of performance on all surfaces without shoes. This ground-breaking work explores the beliefs that horses need shoes and examines in a balanced way the choices available to owners and the potential benefits of working horses barefoot.

Each book has been signed by the authors, Nic Barker and Sarah Braithwaite
