Navicular Syndrome

Author:  Jamie Jackson, Binding: Paperback Size: 8.5" x 11"  54 pages : "Navicular" is a serious lameness affecting countless horses worldwide, with many going to early deaths as a result. But what is navicular? I am no stranger to it, having observed it first hand as a farrier and later as America's first Natural Hoof Care Practitioner (NHCP). It's not what everyone thinks it is. And that's why horses continue to suffer from it. This book takes you through the complexities of navicular, replacing myths with facts. My mission is to steer horse owners away from practices that inevitably lead to navicular in their horses. Education and the 4 Pillars of NHC are the key to prevention and healing.

America's wild, free-roaming horses provided me with incredibly important information to share with others through my books, articles, speaking engagements, and training clinics.
