THE WILD, FREE-ROAMING HORSE of the U.S. Great Basin has given us a new vision for a vibrant and healthy natural horse. That vision is embodied in this newly updated and classic work, The Natural Horse: Lessons From the Wild.Paddock Paradise. Based on wild horse family band movements in their native ranges, Paddock Paradise is a unique tracking system within which horses living together in groups forge their own paths. Horse owners disburse hay and other essentials along these paths to stimulate movement and vitality "on track." Reasonably Natural Diet. Jackson took note in his range studies of the complexity of the wild horse diet. He and his colleagues have deduced a safe diet for horses, but urge the university sector to enter wild horse country to give the wild horse diet the comprehensive research it deserves.Natural Rider. Jackson holds that a paradigm for the natural rider should be rooted in the Natural Gait Complex of the species as seen in the wild. To this end he has laid out a painstaking analysis of the natural gaits based on his observations of wild horse behaviors.The Natural Trim. As a professional hoof man fully aware of the damaging effects of shoeing on the horse's hoof, Jackson saw the need to enter wild horse country to see what nature intended for the horse's hoof, and then report his findings. The Natural Horse delivers that message and a trimming method.

Paddock Paradise (PP) is both a book title and a concept of a more naturalized way of horse keeping based upon the research done on the Great Basin wild horses by natural horse care expert and author, Jaime Jackson. PP is a must-read for any horse-owner or professional who wants to create an environment of more optimal mental and physical health for their horses while drastically reducing the number of hours spent on 'barn' chores. Jackson explains to readers why the concept works and how to create one in a simple and inexpensive manner. Not only do horses exercise more but also eat in the manner that nature intended . Research has shown that free-roaming horses are healthier than stabled ones but many kinds of pasture grasses can cause laminitis. PP is the solution for these issues and others that plauge horse owners around the world. "PP is an emerging trend," according to a summer 2011 issue of "The Horse" magazine.

The Natural Trim: Principles & Practice is the first release by the world renowned wild horse and hoof care expert, Jaime Jackson, since the 2007 publication of his revolutionary book, "Paddock Paradise: A Guide to Natural Horse Boarding" and 20 years since his first book was published, The Natural Horse: Lessons from the Wild (1992/Northland Publishing/Star Ridge). The Natural Trim is for any interested in horses - as an owner or as a professional. Because the health of the horse shows up in its hooves, the condition of the hoof is to the horse what the canary is to the coalminer. The book looks at the species, equus ferus caballus, and shows the reader why the sound, healthy and fit, wild & free-roaming Great Basin Mustang should serve as the universal model of health for all domestic horses. Part I focuses on all aspects of healthy horsekeeping and Part II provides step by step guidelines to conducting this humane, barefoot trim method based on the U.S. Great Basin Mustangs.

The natural trim is a humane trim method for horses that mimics the natural wear patterns of America's wild, free-roaming horses of the Western States Great Basin. These wild horses are also the model for natural horse care (NHC). The Advanced Guidelines of the natural trim replace the Basic Guidelines when hooves suffer from extreme deformity due to disease and traumatic injury.

The Basic Guidelines of the natural trim explain in extraordinary detail how the author managed the remarkable hooves of the horses of the Association for the Advancement of Natural Horse Care Practices (AANHCP) over an eight year period (2010-2018). The horses lived 24/7 "on track" in the AANHCP Paddock Paradise, providing incontrovertible evidence that the natural trim can facilitate hooves bordering on "wildness" in a simulated adaptive environment.

Many wild animals are now finding refuge from certain extinction in zoos, whose keepers and supporters have truly risen up to help in the highest humanitarian spirit. But is traditional "zoo life" our best course of action for these dispossessed creatures of the wild who have done nothing at all to deserve their fate? Zoo Paradise takes us into the troubled and shadowy world of modern zoos, bringing light and hope for wild animals living in captivity.

Democratic Egalitarianism is a belief in human equality and opportunity especially with respect to the social, political, and economic lives of a nation's people.Platform points directly at a new and virulent strain of post-colonial feudalism that has evolved in our country from its inception 243 years ago. The result is a new class society -- the New Feudalism -- comprised of a minority class of billionaire industrialists, a lower wealthy class of multi-millionaires, and a vast and growing population of the near poor, poor, and homeless. 100 million Americans -- a third of our entire population -- now teeter on the brink of poverty. 40 million are impoverished and dependent on a demeaning welfare system. Up to a million more have now fallen into the ranks of the homeless. Americans are a vulnerable society slowly spiraling into poverty, taking our polluted environment with us.Platform proposes 24 Egalitarian Objectives to change the our course of our descent.

Horse Trek: Into the Mystic invites the reader into the author's untold story of a strange Vision Quest that led him into wild horse country, a harrowing journey lasting nearly ten years. But the Vision itself he did not ask for. "It came upon me in such a way that I knew I was meant to seek its meaning and purpose. A higher power had clearly chosen me for this Quest. And there was no way out of it, even when I pitted the Vision against my most skeptical and troubling doubts over and over again. But before my very eyes, it literally peeled back the invisible curtain of the natural world that shrouds another hidden reality of mysticism and paranormal forces that connected me to animal spirits that guided my journey. I've decided to tell the story and its many hardships as I recall and lived it. And let the chips fall where they may before the skeptic and believer alike."

"Navicular" is a serious lameness affecting countless horses worldwide, with many going to early deaths as a result. But what is navicular? I am no stranger to it, having observed it first hand as a farrier and later as America's first Natural Hoof Care Practitioner (NHCP). It's not what everyone thinks it is. And that's why horses continue to suffer from it. This book takes you through the complexities of navicular, replacing myths with facts. My mission is to steer horse owners away from practices that inevitably lead to navicular in their horses. Education and the 4 Pillars of NHC are the key to prevention and healing.
