{"product_id":"the-natural-horse-foundations-for-natural-horsemanship","title":"The Natural Horse: Foundations for Natural Horsemanship","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor Jaime Jackson has been a professional farrier and horseman for 22 years. But it was over 10 years ago that he headed alone into Americas wild horse country  hoping to find a humane  \"natural\" model for domestic horse care. Frustrated by the way horses are often mistreated by their owners  Jackson felt much of this resulted from misunderstanding the nature of the horse. 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-which Jackson states with authority  \"are terribly misunderstood in the domestic horse world.\" Having armed the reader with a solid foundation of the horses natural world  Jackson then challenges the reader and nearly every major principle of modern horse care  to \"apply what we have learned.\" The final chapters demonstrate step-by-step what horsemen and horsewomen can and should do. From hoof care and balanced riding in concert with the horses natural abilities  to new forms of communication and humane care  The Natural Horse challenges conventional horse care on every front. First published in 1992 and just re-released in a handsome new edition  The Natural Horse is a must for those interested in applying natural methods to the care of their horses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944975233077,"sku":"ByrdShop_0965800709","price":33.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780965800709.jpg?v=1769864437","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-natural-horse-foundations-for-natural-horsemanship","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
