Swedish Hoof School Inc. stands free from all methods, organizations and producers.

Our experience and research has leaded us to a non traditional model of explanation for the function of the inside of the hoof. We are not saying that this model of explanation is the absolute and final truth but we are saying that working after this model of explanation give fantastic results that solves many traditional hoof issues.

To us "Coffin bone rotation", "Distal Descent", hoof cracks, flared and asymmetric hooves are not big issues. We have excellent results both rehabilitating and teaching rehabilitation of all these conditions.

We don't do politics, which means that we believe that everybody has the same right to all available knowledge and therefore are we just as happy to educate both farriers, veterinarians, barefoot specialist and horse owners.

Before coming to The US we have started and managed a school in Sweden that so far has educated 23 professional hoof specialists (farriers and barefoot specialists) and 800 horse owners to do an excellent job rehabilitating both "Coffin bone rotation", "Distal Descent", hoof cracks, flared and asymmetric hooves. We know that what we do works.

We don't do bickering. We don't want to discuss if your horse should be shod or barefoot. That discussion only makes people to lock up and loose focus of what is so much more important. Environment, feeding and Hoof Shape are all much more important than shod or barefoot. It is just as easy to destroy a barefoot hoof as it is to destroy a shod hoof. Our own horses are barefoot and I don't shoe horses even for rehabilitation purposes but we don't pass judgment on others. All horses shod or barefoot, will gain greatly from their hoof care provider having all available knowledge on hoof shape, feeding and environmental issues.

You can not be serious about hooves without including lots of knowledge about environment and feeding. To be completely honest a horse doesn't even need hoof care provided by humans if the environment and the feeding are 100% natural. Just look at The Zebras in Africa or the feral Mustangs of the Nevada desert.

Our goal is to be allowed to share our knowledge and experiences with a large enough number of horse people to make "Coffin bone rotation", "Distal Descent", hoof cracks, flared and asymmetric hooves to be considered minor issues.
