In the Lifeway and the Natural Hoof Clinic, Bruce explains that many things contribute to determining hoof integrity. Stress is one key factor. Participants are led step-by-step from the physiology and biochemistry of stress to the risk of pathological conditions like laminitis. The role of obesity, insulin resistance, reduced glucose availability, atherosclerosis, vasoconstriction, endothelial damage, bone loss and sub-clinical inflammation are all described in understandable terms. The process of joint closure, the biomechanics of movement and riding, and the meaning of the term “natural” are also discussed in relation to hoof care. The importance of saddle fitting to hoof care is also covered. In short, the clinic is a unique blend of in-depth information about how a horse’s lifeway impacts hoof health and the outcome of natural hoof care.
