This year long project was filmed in high definition and edited by Epona Productions of North Bend, Washington.
We hope those of you who have hit the wall trying to figure what you can do for your horses hooves will simply get this DVD, purchase the recommended tools and go forth and conquer every hoof issue your horses have been living with.
We will be teaching you how to perform the barefoot natural trim. We review the tools you will need with recommendations on which tools to purchase. We will demonstrate a trim on a donkey foot and touch on hoof issues such as abscesses.
The DVD is divided into chapters so you can easily access the information you're seeking.
But in the DVD, we don't go into correcting severe hoof ailments, so as a companion to the DVD, you will soon have access to links on this page to articles about topics such as founder, whiteline infection, abscesses and thrush.
There will also be a link to Q&A page. You are welcome to email your questions regarding your horses hoof issues, or anything you see or don't see on the DVD, and I will do my best to respond on the Q&A Page.
We hope this will be a wonderful stepping stone in your journey into natural hoof care, and one of many tools you choose on your way to becoming your horses' ally for their healthiest hooves.
Becoming proficient at trimming your own horses hooves is one of the most liberating skills a horse owner can acquire.
We promise it will change your life, and your horses' lives, in ways you never imagined.
We welcome feedback!
Remember! Proceeds from the DVD will benefit the 20 equines currently with us at our hoof rehab center. And we thank you for your generous support.

A famous quote by FDR.
"The country demands bold, persistant experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. Above all, try something!"
Change the word, "country" to "hoof", and that quote is fitting of a horse with hoof problems.
There is a chapter on booting with Danny . He's not as excited about the DVD as I am.
A few testimonials from those who have purchased and watched the DVD:
The DVD arrived yesterday and I watched it immediately. Twice! The DVD is terrific! Very informative, great quality, and just the
motivation needed! It is exactly what I needed. I've visited all the websites, I've read many of the books (including Pete Ramey's), but what I needed was a visual presentation that would give me the confidence needed to try that first trim. You're DVD was perfect! Eric, CA
We are extremely impressed and excited about practicing and learning to trim our horses. It isn't nearly as intimidating as we learn more about the goals. Keep up the great work and please realize that you are a prayer answered for so many horse owners. Dan, WA
What a very good DVD you made! It was easy to understand and done in laymans language. I've watched the trimming twice. It was nice to be able to see exactly what you were doing. Other DVD's are not as professional as this one and it's difficult to see what exactly what he's doing! Debbie, WA
Great DVD! Very professional. My wife is a teacher and she was very impressed with your teaching style. Cliff, WA
Pat, your DVD is awesome! It is wonderful. I love how it repeats so I don't have to replay what I want to hear again. It is totally totally
totally too cool. Linda, WA
Okay, so going out to my barn now to make a few changes to my trims recommended on your DVD. I finally feel like I've found the answers I've been looking for! Thank you SO MUCH! Sara, OR.
