I just ordered it a few days ago!!!!! The DVD set looks incredible! I also looked into a practitioner locally to help me further my Pete Ramey education along with an equine nutritionist to assist me with natural balance removing heavy toxins out of my horses with zeolite ( toxin removing agents) horse supplements and using dynamite to help me restore good working balance. She works in both areas of removing the bad and putting in the good  YAY!!
Since I have started to do this with my horses, their hooves are growing out so fast and so strong and I can actually see a HUGE difference in their muscle structure and toning. All their spines are coming up and strengthening because they don't have the influence of heavy mineral toxins in their bones and blood now so they are able to freely restore their muscle structure to it's best. I have also noticed that they are SO MUCH calmer naturally.... they don't react with force any more, their minds seem to be free from cloudiness and their eyes are much clearer. Also their urine doesn't have a strong smell and is a nice pale yellow color instead of dark yellow with a strong scent. Their hair is shiny and brilliant and soft.. omg is it ever soft. The hooves are showing the most improvement of all... A lot of horses will show lines red lines and grooves when feed changes even from winter to summer.. grass etc. Since I have been doing this... the hooves are actually healing the tissue and the lines are going away... the skin wall tissue on the hooves are removing dead cell tissue right infront of my eyes and replacing it with live cells which decrease the grooves and red lines. The frogs look SO good on their own, they are strong and I can tell that their bones have strengthened on their legs. When I first started this, it was like the horses went limp, it actually sort of is painful at first removing heavy toxins, it's not a good feeling, the body is so use to them that it reacts and starts to look for more toxins in the body to replace... however, it's not possible so then the body quickly learns to readjust itself and look for the good cells to replace the toxins and wala, within 3 days you start to have restoring blood and cells. However, those first 3 days are a whopper!! I thought my horses were getting real sick and honestly, they were.. they were ridding all that crap in their body and they didn't feel good doing it. Now.... they are on top of the world.
( ops sorry I sort of just went on a soap box there)  hehehe

I am waiting on tinter hooks to read your review. |

| jokersmama |
What is a "tinter hook" ...?
|

| Leah |
I have almost completed all 3 videos.
If you are interested in exactly how Pete handles this situation, you will enjoy the videos. Each one is about 90 minutes and the time span is 18 months of recovery. If you are interested in seeing how to cast there is also some good coverage of that. |

They are finished.
I am really having a hard time processing. The last 30 minutes kind of blew me away. I wish I could add more but I simply can't do any justice to what Pete is explaining. I just know the information sort of makes me sick at my stomach when i consider what is happening to horses. |

So was it enlightening? the last 30 minutes?
You mean what is happening to horses in general, not to the horses Pete is working on, right? Because I felt that way after his book and then looking at some shod horses and seeing what I couldn't see before. Pat has a real winner listed on her blog page, whoa boy we could have some fun picking on that guy. He made me irate. |

I wanna see, I wanna see!!! Come on horseflix!
Did you have any "AHA" moments? Or was it material he covered in the last dvd series? Is there new info? |
||
| Leah |
OH heavens aha moments....I am just still in shock.
The information on chronic founder and sinkers (distal descent)-the warning signs are ALL there-they have been...'we' just didn't know. The horse industry is only beginning to have a tip of understanding. I tell you the work Bowker and Pollitt are doing is just amazing. I see how Pete is trimming these horses-the horse in the video is actually a 'sinker'-I am a little torn over how he is trimming however. I am not saying I disagree or agree-I am just processing and very torn. It is extreme. It is not mild. It is NOT what you see in his books-but these horses are extreme. There issues are not mild. The horse is just tender for SO long-for SO many months. BUT the fact is she was allowed to have incorrect hoof form and will pay the rest of her life to some level for it. I need more information from others on how they are dealing with it. The saddest part? Milo's xrays SHOW exactly what Pete describes. Distal Descent-right there in digital. I just don't think most vets are up on this information-it is so knew in the scheme of things. And diet-oh heavens diet. Grasses. We through our horses out in the name of 'natural' and now it seems we are killing them so slowly in the process. I just know this-if you have a horse with a long hoof capsule and he is trimmed to live sole and STILL long or you have a horse with flat feet, it is time to pay attention to those red flags-it may not BE but dang well it is DANGER DANGER. Xrays-gosh get them if you have a horse like this-learn about the landmarks that show 'low bones'. REACT to that information and don't take it casually. From there, research what hoof professionals do to reverse the situation and commit to it. I am sure there are some differences-I just don't know enough to even know what I don't know. Needless to say I am all torn up inside. |

from Wikipedia: Tenterhooks were used as far back as the fourteenth century in the process of making woollen cloth. After the cloth was woven it still contained oil from the fleece and some dirt. A fuller (also called a tucker or walker) cleaned the woolen cloth in a fulling mill, and then had to dry it carefully or the wool would shrink. To prevent this shrinkage, the fuller would place the wet cloth on a large wooden frame, a "tenter", and leave it to dry outside. The lengths of wet cloth were stretched on the tenter (from the Latin "tendere", to stretch) using hooks (nails driven through the wood) all around the perimeter of the frame to which the cloth's edges (selvages) were fixed so that as it dried the cloth would retain its shape and size.[1] At one time it would have been common in manufacturing areas to see tenter-fields full of these frames. By the mid-eighteenth century the phrase "on tenterhooks" came into use to mean being in a state of uneasiness, anxiety, or suspense, stretched like the cloth on the tenter. |

giddyupflix has this! I'm joining today!
Yes Leah, some of the former hoofcare on the horses he works on makes you want to slap some people around. (nah, just educate them.) |

I just finished watching the 3 DVD's and have to say I loved them and got so much out of them, really helped my learning, I have always liked his trims but his comments on how horse is always sore 3 days after trim alot to do with the bevel from below stretching that connection.
Also I am currently being taught to open the abcess up totally clean, disinfect and let it heal, but of course would not do it to peoples horses without the vet. The x-rays where fantastic the new way of measuring is brilliant, I am a Chiropractor and use x-rays as a diagnostic tool and they are invaluable and we use measurements, really think I will suggest to people to have feet x-rayed not just for laminitis or founder but to check the intimate relationships between everything, one thing is what you see on the outside another on the inside. So many ways to trim, very much experimenting with what works for you and the individual horse very interesting. |
