12 Points of Reference: Balancing the Equine Hoof | Roy Bloom, CJF & Dave Farley, CF | DVD

12 Points of Reference: Balancing the Equine Hoof introduces the reference system Roy Bloom and Dave Farley use to evaluate limb balance and develop a trimming plan for maintaining or improving hoof balance.

The program explains how the individual reference points relate to the horse and how they can be used together when evaluating the foot. It serves as the foundation for later instruction applying these concepts to practical shoeing situations.
