Using the tough, polished-looking hooves of the Great Basin mustang as the picture perfect model of health and soundness, wild horse expert and veteran hoof care professional, Jaime Jackson, discovered he could consistently stimulate natural growth patterns in the hooves of domestic horses simply by mimicking the natural wear patterns of these wild, free-roaming equines. Rooted in the fundamental laws of nature, these Guidelines use elements of math, science, art and common sense to provide exact trimming and measuring instructions-and get excellent results! Identifying and mimicking key natural wear patterns to generate naturally shaped hooves. Never "soring" or over-trimming any hoof. Why a corrective trim-isn't! Trimming in harmony with a horse's natural break-over, conformation, and gaits. Trimming laminitic hooves or a club foot. Activating key structures to stimulate growth in over-shortened or 'invaded' hoof capsules. Restoring "run under" and "slipper toe" hooves to their natural shapes and angles. Taking precise angle and length measurements.

The Advanced Guidelines of the natural trim replace the Basic Guidelines when hooves suffer from extreme deformity due to disease and traumatic injury.

Horse Trek: Into the Mystic invites the reader into the author's untold story of a strange Vision Quest that led him into wild horse country, a harrowing journey lasting nearly ten years. But the Vision itself he did not ask for. "It came upon me in such a way that I knew I was meant to seek its meaning and purpose. A higher power had clearly chosen me for this Quest. And there was no way out of it, even when I pitted the Vision against my most skeptical and troubling doubts over and over again. But before my very eyes, it literally peeled back the invisible curtain of the natural world that shrouds another hidden reality of mysticism and paranormal forces that connected me to animal spirits that guided my journey. I've decided to tell the story and its many hardships as I recall and lived it. And let the chips fall where they may before the skeptic and believer alike."

Questo libro illustra il punto di vista dell'autore su questa patologia, descrive patogenesi e presentazione clinica, mette in discussione gli approcci terapeutici "tradizionali" e offre una alternativa naturale per combatterla e prevenirla.

Cheyenne Tipi Notes is about a detailed description by anthropologist and ethnographer James Mooney of Southern Cheyenne women tanning cow hides for a historic reproduction of a 19th century hide tipi, between April 28th and June 2nd, 1903, at the Darlington Indian Agency, Oklahoma Territory. What sets this historical record apart from others is that the tipi still exists, perfectly preserved but buried away and virtually forgotten in the underground artifact catacombs of the Chicago Field Museum 115 years later. An experienced tanner himself, author Jaime Jackson not only found Mooney’s extant notes at the Smithsonian Institution, and then transcribed them, but found his way to the Field Museum to examine the tipi himself. Putting the two together, Jackson has disentombed and interpreted what happened a century ago, bringing back to life an ancient craft that was central to Plains Indian culture. Cheyenne Tipi Notes is a companion monograph to Jackson’s related work, Buckskin Tanner, which provides a step by step account of Plains Indian tanning, including what Indian tanners did to prepare bisonhides for clothing and their tipis.

Buckskin Tanneris the author — Jaime Jackson! — who narrates thestory of his adventure into natural tanning, beginningin the early 1950s at Disneyland’s Indian Village,where, as a young boy, his father took him to meetelder Native Americans brought by Walt Disney toguide park technicians construct the village. This wasduring the year before the park officially opened. “Iremember a dialogue between my father and some ofthe Indians about native tanning and the hide tipisput together there. The women traditionally tannedthe hides and sewed them together into tipis. But thehides used here were commercially tanned. I wonderedhow they did the tanning during the bygone buffalodays. And that is how it all began for me.”
