Pete Ramey

Pete Ramey started out as a shoeing farrier in 1994. He was trained by a local farrier and studied farrier texts. He soon became aware of the lack of actual hoof knowledge and trimming instructions contained within the farrier texts. Also how there was very little information on dealing with pathological hooves, so he started reading veterinary textbooks and picking the brains of farriers and vets. However he still could not find the answers.

His main interest was to work on lameness rehabilitation and so he started to give presentations of his case studies to the local vet hospitals and he bought lame horses from the "killer market" to take home and rehab. As word of his success spread his business grew until he was taking care of up to 800 horses and teaching hoof clinics all over the world.

In 2000, he wrote his first book "Making Natural Hoofcare Work for You", which was well received due to it being written in a clear and straightforward way with lots of photos.
