• This hoof book is for learning & teaching. 

• It is one of Heike Veit's top principles that the information in this first English edition is accessible and understandable also to everyone whose first language isn't English. Therefore, it keeps things in easy to understand terms and does not use (wherever possible) "hoof language" that only seasoned professionals would understand.

• Veterinarians, farriers and hoofcare professionals in Switzerland and Germany recommend the book to their students, staff and clients, horse owners, riders, trainers and physiotherapists.  This book helps to understand and explain hooves in an easy way in order to prevent and eliminate lameness. The hoof anatomy and the 'steel wire nerves' inside it is shown in a simplified way like you have never seen before. Chapters are enhanced by a series of videos that can be accessed via QR code to further look inside the hoof capsule. This is a feature that is unique in hoof books. These videos are very important and bring the subject to life! 

• The ring bound book has protective covers, is printed on robust moisture resistant paper and is sturdy so it can be used "in action" near the horse, in the stable to show what is pressing, pinching or pulling on the horses' hoof. Whether it is navicular syndrome, conditions of the navicular bone, coffin joint, bursa, laminitis, thrush, osteoarthritis, hoof abscesses or recurrent lameness of unknown cause; - this book sheds light on many problems. There are well over 1,500 books in use around the world, having helped owners and professionals help hundreds of horses and even saved lives. Many recommend it as a "must have" for everyone.  They can be found in stables, on kitchen tables or in tool bags, always ready to hand. Comments from two highly respected veterinarians and several farriers: "Heike, what you say about the nerve makes perfect sense. How could we have ignored it for decades?"
