This comprehensive guide to founder prevention and cure represents Jaime Jackson's groundbreaking approach to natural horse hoof care. Published by Star Ridge Publishing in 2003 as an Alert Edition, this book challenges conventional veterinary practices and offers holistic alternatives for treating this devastating equine condition. Jackson, a 24-year veteran hoof care expert who studied extensively with America's wild horses, presents his revolutionary natural methods based on observations of mustang hoof care. The book includes detailed black and white photographs and anatomical diagrams showing proper hoof trimming techniques and the pathology of founder and laminitis. This Alert Edition features updated information on holistic lifestyle changes, dietary considerations, and natural treatment protocols. The book covers white line disease (WLD), hoof healing concerns, and proper trimming techniques with clear visual guides showing cutting sites and anatomical regions. The book is in very good condition with minimal shelf wear and clean, intact pages. The binding remains tight and square with no separation issues. Minor edge wear and scuffing on the cover are consistent with light use. This work represents a significant contribution to natural horse care and challenges the conventional 'founder mythology' that Jackson argues holds countless horses and owners hostage to ineffective treatments. An essential resource for horse owners seeking natural alternatives to traditional veterinary approaches.
