With John Halko, produced by 3 Horse Enterprises, Inc.
reviewed by Baron Tayler

An informational tape for aimed at horse owners. $29.95 (incl. S&H) You may order this video online, or call 1-800-554-9148.

This tape would make the perfect gift for every horse owner, or horse owner to be. Every farrier wishes their customers would only purchase horses which had "perfect" hooves. Life would be so much easier. But the reality is that "perfect" hooves are not that common. This video educates prospective buyers as to what to look for, and what to avoid.

John Halko, a professional farrier for more than 20 years, carefully guides you through various hoof conformations, using a literal stable full of horses. As John so aptly points out, there is a lot of "gray" when deciding if certain conformations affect your decision to purchase a particular horse. Some hoof conformations rule out a horse being used for certain purposes, but are perfectly fine for other uses. You must know what you will be using a horse for, before you make the examination.

An excellent tape, and one that I would recommend to any horse person.
