• Anytime - World Wide: Gene Ovnicek was one of the speakers at the 1st, 2nd & 4th Annual Farrier & Hoofcare Online Conference (2002, 2003, & 2005). Gene's lecture, "Essential Hoof Care - Improving Performance and Preventing Lameness through Natural Guidelines",  "Recognizing Navicular Syndrome before it become Irreversible" and "Hoof Hoof Form Relates to Hoof Function" were featured at the 2002, 2003 & 2005 conferences respectively. This was a tremendous opportunity for horse owners, farriers and vets to get some good first-hand information on Natural Balance and some of the latest scientific information on hoof care issues. Now available through our shopping pages, you can get a full copy (2 VHS Videos or 4 DVD's) of the entire conference for 2002, 2003, & 2005 or all 3 years.

"Natural Balance Shoeing" 2 Video Series

&

"Natural Balance Hoof Trimming" Video

Because it is so difficult to have clinics going on in all parts of the country and any given time, we have put these video together in a manner that closely mimics what you received at a 2 Day Clinic with a Lecture and Demonstrations. Each of these videos has a 30 - 40 minute lecture style section that goes into anatomy, biomechanics and function of the foot. Although there is some crossover of information with the lecture section of both the Shoeing and Trimming videos, each contain unique slides and topics covered. From there, both videos go into great detail describing hoof preparation guidelines and in the case of the shoeing video, shoe placement and application. After the basic hoof preparation guidelines have been covered for fairly normal hoof conformations, each video covers more problematic feet such as club feet, underrun and contracted heels, as well as pigeon-toed horses.

The "Natural Balance Shoeing" video set consists of either 2 VHS tapes or 2 DVD's, and total run time is about 170 minutes.  The "Natural Balance Hoof Trimming" video is a single VHS tape or DVD and has a total run time of about 90 minutes, for a total of almost 4 1/2 hours for the package set.  Each video is available seperately as well, but there is a savings of $26.00 when purchased in the package set.

For more details on each video, please visit the "Educational Products" section of our website.
