This is the original work that started it all! Jaime Jackson's unforgettable foundation for the natural horse care movement...

The Natural Horse is the story of Jackson's journey into wild horse country in the 1980's to study the hooves and lifeways of the wild horse. What he found, and how he applied this information to his practice as a farrier of domestic horses is both fascinating and compelling.

What Jackson discovered is that horses do indeed have a natural order, and that knowledge can be applied in truly helpful ways to our domestic horses. In a thoughtful, systematic approach, Jackson lays out his revolutionary ideas about natural horse care in this remarkable book. In the first chapters, the reader steps through wild horse country with Jackson as guide, and is drawn into the nuances of social structure, locomotion and gaits, and the hooves. Having armed the reader with a solid foundation of the horse's natural world, Jackson then challenges the reader and nearly every major principle of modern horse care, to "apply what we have learned."

The result is both comprehensive and specific -- recommendations which promote a far greater understanding of the horse, and create more natural and healthy lifeways. As one
reader noted, this book is truly a "milestone in horse culture."
