Chronic
Laminitis, Navicular Syndrome, L.O.F. Disease (Lack Of Farrier), Impossible Boot
Fits, Bring Me The Saw, Non-Compliant Horse Owners: The stuff no one wants to
work on with a camera rolling.
The DVD series Under the Horse and Tools of the Trade should be
made prerequisite to In The Trenches
in all training programs. The purpose of In The
Trenches is to help practitioners apply the basic protocols
described in UTH on specific and complex cases
11 different horses- Each in serious trouble- Each with
their own unique set of nuances. For real-world application, this DVD set has a greater
"information density" than Under the
Horse !!! That wasn't easy.

"It
is common for even highly experienced practitioners to feel
lost and uncertain when faced with a truly bizarre, unique
or hopeless situation- it happens to me, too. So Ivy and I
figured the best thing we could do for hoof practitioners is
to compile a collection of the cases that have challenged
us- you know... the fun stuff!
These are the cases that keep us up at night- the cases that
always teach us something. In
The Trenches is my favorite DVD set so far,
and I believe it will be a very valuable tool for any hoof
professional. I certainly wish it had been available for me
20 years ago." Pete Ramey
This DVD set is packed with information. Ivy and Pete take
you to the first meeting with 11 different "hard cases".
Watch as they sort through the problems thrown at them over
time. Nothing in this DVD set is easy- none of it is pretty,
but almost everyone who watches it will see something
they've never seen, and hopefully become better prepared to
face big challenges. For everyone who has said "I
wish I could be a fly on the wall..." Here ya go!
