	Naked Horsemanship This is the companion website to Joe Camp's book The Soul of a Horse (which convinced me to take my horses to barefoot soundness). Barefoot hooves and natural living conditions dominate the site. There is a large gallery of convincing photographs of barefoot champions (in all disciplines) and don't miss the video "Dancing Barefoot." If you're looking for a barefoot trimmer there are lots of links.

	The Horse's Hoof A repository of articles and resources for barefoot hoof care. Lots of interesting photographs, links and a growing number of "Trimcasts" which can be viewed online or downloaded as podcasts on iTunes.

	Hoof Rehabilitation Specialists This is the website of natural horse trimmer and guru Pete Ramey and contains a wealth of information and links on natural hoof care.

	All Natural Horse Care First came the box stall out of convenience or necessity (keeping horses in the confined space of a hill top fortress, for example, during the Middle Ages). Next came all the hoof, joint and soundness issues when the horses weren't on the move day and night, flexing and naturally wearing down their hooves. The solution? Nailed on metal shoes (which solved the problem in the short term, yet set the horse up for a lifetime of hoof, joint and related health problems, and quite often, terminal lameness). Removing the shoes and returning the horse to its natural biological environment (in which it has survived over fifty million years) is the way of the future, and putting the horse and its needs first is the cornerstone of this informative website.
