We are proud to have been a part of the Dennis Reis - Uninversal Horsemanship show on RFDTV in 2005 & 2006. During each episode of Dennis Reis' show, we hav had a 10 minute section called the "Natural Balance Hoof Care Corner". Each week we investigated various aspect of hoof care, including basic hoof anatomy, biomechanics & function of the foot, mapping out the foot & recognizing hoof distortions, dealing with minor & major lameness issues, as well as illustrating the basic hoof preparation guidelines of Natural Balance Hoof Care. Over the 2 years we spent with the Dennis Reis show, the Natural Balance Hoof Care Corner was met with tremendous interest and enthusiasm from those who are interested in hoof care and were regular viewers of the show.
This particular section of our website is dedicated to providing an organized way to find more information about things we discuss on the show. Below you will find a list of all of the shows we have currently done, as well as any upcoming episodes that are completed but have not yet aired. You will also notice that most of the shows have been combined into various volumes that are available on DVD and VHS through our producers website: www.whpublishing.com.
If you are regulars to the show, you will have also noticed some of our own commercials, as well as commercials by our sponsors, which without their support, this show would not be possible. We have listed those sponsors, as well as links to their websites below.
