The
vital mission of the AANHCP is to advance the
humane care and management of domestic equines
worldwide through the applications of proven
practices and principles based on the research
and findings of wild, free-roaming equines..
A barefoot horse is a marvel of the natural
world, witness American's wild horses of the
Great Basin. Such a horse can move rigorously
and without pain over the roughest terrain, and
without any hoof protection except what nature
has given him from birthright. He lives his life
without shoes and his feet do not suffer from
it. Health and hoof disorders that plague his
domestic cousins everywhere are unknown to him.
Are our domestic horses exempt from such good
fortune? The answer is no. Through genuine
natural hoof care and natural horse keeping
practices, your equine can enjoy the same health
with sound, tough hooves. Let the skilled
"holistic practitioners" of the AANHCP show you
how to transform your horses' body and feet --
even if the latter are brittle and weak or
suffering from an "incurable" disease -- into
the "natural horse" nature has intended all
along.
