I'm not a farrier. I'm not a veterinarian. I don't have
any fancy titles.
So why should you even waste your valuable time listening to me?
Good question really.
- Maybe because I'm not that different from you.
- Maybe it is because I have something very important to tell you.
- Maybe because I don't accept tradition or politics as reasons to keep
doing wrong.
- Maybe it just because I have done so many mistakes
that I don't want you to have to duplicate.
- Maybe it is because I believe that you deserve logical and easy to understand
explanations to how things work.
- Maybe it is because my clinic could change your life and make you see
your horse in a completely new light.
- Or maybe it just because you want
to know even more about horses.
I believe 60 million years of horse evolution is worth more than thousand
years of human experience (of which we have forgotten most). If you
have an open mind I will have you understand why most fatal hoof complications
are man made, totally unnecessary and fairly easy to rehabilitate. I will
give you logical explanations to everything I claim and I will explain
it in a way that you and everybody else can understand.
A vice man named Buddha once said:
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by
many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in
books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers
and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed
down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you
find that anything agrees with reason and it is conductive to the good
and benefit one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
What I do have is:
- Nine years of experimenting with horses eating habbits.
- Five years of successful professional hoof rehabilitation experience.
- Four years of intense hoof research.
- Given 75 clinics with over 1000 dissected hooves.
- Given over 100 theoretical lectures on hoof function for Swedish horse
owners, farreriers and veterinarians.
- Educated over 800 Swedish horse owners to do an exelent maintenance
trim on their barefooted horses.
- A habit of rehabilitating horses with coffin bone rotation, distal decent,
laminitis, hoof cracks and flared and assymetric hooves.
I also strongly believe that if we start altering with
nature we must be very cautious. There is a meaning to why natural things
are like they are. They probably work best that way and those who didn't
look that way have been dead for long. But still, just because you can
find it naturally doesn't mean it is perfect.
What I do understand is that all and every single horse
hoof has its own natural shape and as soon as we change that we are creating
problems.
What I don't understand is why people still put down horses
for coffin bone rotation, distal descent and laminitis when they are so
easy to rehabilitate if you understand what really has happend.
