Swedish Hoof School Inc. wants to make a difference.
- A difference in the number of horses that, completely unnecessary, get
put down prematurely because of some hoof related condition like Laminitis,
Coffin bone rotation or Distal descent.
We have the knowledge to save those horses and we would like to share it with
you.
- A difference in the number of horses that suffer pain and hardship because
of people's lack of knowledge about the horse's digestion system.
We have that knowledge too and we would like to share it with you.
It took me nine years of mistakes and failures to find a way to offer my horses free choice of hay in a way that worked with the environment we keep domesticated horses in and at the same time forced the horses to eat in the way they are made for. Today we have solutions for everybody regardless of if the horses are inside 24/7 (lets hope not) or outside 24/7 (or anything in between). This is a complete revolution and only masochists choose other solutions when they have seen ours.
We would like all this to become common knowledge and we would like to start with you. We want you to attend one of our clinics where we will not only tell how things work; we will also explain why it works that way, what you can do about it and why that works. To us "the why" is extremely important we want you to understand not only accept.
To get the hoof knowledge we have studied existing techniques,
dissected more than thousand hooves and compared them with each other and
with hooves on living horses, feral and domesticated. We have taken this knowledge
and applied it to hoof care of thousands of horses of all breeds, sizes and
ages, sick and sound. To get even more knowledge we educated a group of 26
European hoof care specialists and collected even their experiences. Now we
have used four years to try to prove our selves wrong but instead landed in
a firm believe that our model of explanation works on at least 99% of all
horses.
The two major features with our model are firstly that it works and secondly
that it is extremely easy to perform. To be completely honest, it is remarkably
easier than the traditional methods and all other methods we have found to
compare with and it is easier both to teach and to learn. We have proven that
by teaching over 800 Swedish horse owners to do a magnificent job maintaining
their horse's hooves them selves.
Sadly enough there are still traditionalists that say that this is too good
to be true but none from that group has attended our education. Both farriers
and veterinarians that have attended our education are astonished and most
farriers that have attended the education have stopped nailing on metal shoes
and are now recommending hoof boot as protection when needed.
It is hard to nail on permanent hoof protection when you understand what it
does to the hoof.
Now there are three things I want you to do on our website:
1. Check out our clinics.
2. Read the articles.
3. Visit "Easy Feeding".
4. Read Testimonials.
Thank you for taking the time to read this far.
Kind regards
