The TRUE Wild Horse Foot 

The foot you see here on this adopted wild horse is not the foot used as the Natural Hoofcare/Barefoot Trimming Industries standard. It's a fact that the foot used for that model is from one dead wild horse that ALL so-called barefoot and Natural Hoofcare trims are based on. That foot which belongs to Jamie Jackson is all over the internet. That foot is of a dead wild horse that had totally worn it's heel out, deforming and distorting not only it's hoof capsule but the inner foot. Now, all barefoot trims and the one I also use to do are based on that ONE FOOT. This is what I uncovered after 15 years of intensive research and trying to figure out what so many barefoot horses were not only unsound but being put down with divers hoof related diseases.
The typical barefoot model based on that foot has no heels and about a 30-degree hairline and the trims that want to mimic it lead people to over rasp the heels which can lead to a diversity of not only hoof diseases but leg and upper body problems as well. But the horse in this video is 3-4 years old wild horse caught when he was between 1-2 so and his feet developed perfectly and so far as he has been in captivity has had the luck of the draw to not have his feet overly messed with by man. Their feet usually do not stay like this once man gets to rasping and cutting on them, or just neglects them and they distort. But this horse had a great start and then he was caught before he could also have worn out his own feet due to environmental reasons. This is the foot we are trying to restore to horses.
