Is Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care right for me if…
I’m open to ideas that may be the opposite of traditional beliefs about horse care?
Yes. No matter who you talk with in the horse industry, you’ll run into differing opinions and heated discussions. Natural horse care is no different. The natural horse care approach is the complete opposite of what a traditionally-minded individual believes. It means that change will be the necessary evil. If you’re comfortable with change and you’re open to ideas that may optimize your horse’s health and well-being, then Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care will help you on your path to discovery.
I’m open to continuous learning and self-improvement?
Yes. Through self discovery and continuous learning you’ll be able to more accurately make informed decisions. By honing this skill, making decisions will no longer be based merely on marketing hype, but rather on knowledge. The essence of Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care revolves around the core principle of continuous learning and self-improvement. No matter who you are or how much knowledge you have, there’s always more to learn and room for improvement.
I want to put an effective foundational natural horse care program in place?
Yes. No matter whether you’re new to natural horse care or whether you want to optimize your existing horse care program, there are key fundamentals you must understand in order to be successful. Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care stresses these essential concepts and helps you understand their importance through solid, effective approaches.
I genuinely care about my horse’s quality of life and longevity?
Yes. Most people think about prevention when it’s too late. Understanding key principles that allow your trusted partner (the horse) to live a long, quality life is the ultimate goal. Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care covers approaches that are essential in order to have a much higher probability of obtaining that goal.
I want to feel confident when choosing horse care services and products?
Maybe. Knowing what red flags to look for in a service provider or in particular products is beyond the scope of Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care. However, you are given the high-level concepts needed in order to make a more informed decision when choosing horse care products, a hoof care professional, veterinarian or equine dentist.
I want to learn the nitty gritty details about the ins and outs of natural horse care?
Maybe not. Guiding Principles of Natural Horse care does not give you step by step details and instructions about every aspect of natural horse care. However, it does provide you with an introduction to important concepts and foundational information that are key to obtaining and maintaining a naturally healthy horse in mind, body and spirit. Without this foundation, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to enhance your horse’s health and well-being.
What exactly is Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care?
Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care will teach you:
- To understand the dreaded feeling of fear and how to manage it when it relates to your horse and to your horse’s care. If fear arises, you’ll be more prepared to deal with it if a challenging situation presents itself.
- The role foundational nutrition plays in having a consistently healthy horse. A consistently healthy horse helps you feel confident that you’re making the right decisions about your horse’s overall care.
- Details regarding common health concerns for horse guardians and why implementing a well-rounded natural horse care program will prevent, if not eliminate, most concerns. You will feel confident and less fearful.
- What to consider if you want to take your horse barefoot and what to consider in order to maintain a sound barefoot horse. By setting your barefoot program up for success, you will feel more at ease and less confused when it comes to lameness concerns.
- Points to consider when deciding to trim your own horse. Having all the facts up front allows you to feel confident in your decision with little doubt and few, or no, regrets.
- To think of the word “expert” differently. Many times, it’s hard to know who to trust and believe when it comes to horse care. Knowing how to navigate through information when seeking out an individual for help will be empowering for you as a horse guardian.
- Guidelines for creating a natural habitat that saves you time, space, money and improves the health of your horse. Learning effective ways to allow your horse to move and interact with other horses, like nature intended, will help you have peace of mind like nothing else.
- What’s necessary to implement a foundational program that promotes a naturally healthy horse. By understanding foundational principles, you’ll feel more confident about your horse care decisions.
- What is necessary in order to be a great caregiver and partner for your horse. Being able to make informed decisions about your horse’s care will help you be more in control of your equine companion’s overall health, well-being and your future together.

What people are saying about Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care
Your love of horses and doing what is right for them is so evident that it has a powerful effect on the reader. Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care has lots of good information for people who are searching, as I was, for the most complete picture of horse care. It’s easy to read and understand and very compelling information… very clear and forthright. Joe Camp’s book The Soul of a Horse – Life Lessons from the Herd is comparable and would be a good follow-up to Guiding Principle of Natural Horse Care. Stephanie comes at it from authority/knowledge/experience and Joe comes at it from the “newbie” perspective. I loved your 3 groups on conventional and the norm and I love your quotes that keep popping up throughout the book.
So true about the core principles, I often find that my first approach or inclination is wrong and nearly opposite of what I find is best for the horse. I love that you keep going back to ‘what’s best for the horse, the horse knows, etc.’ I really liked your comment on no real experts—-very good point.
I want everyone to read this book! It’s so great to have enough of the big picture, in a concise format, for folks to either get it and want to know more or not. For anyone willing to put aside their own sense of what they think they know about being a good steward for horses (ego), this book will be a revelation!”
Stephanie Krahl successfully threads her way through the realm of natural horse care in a way that both the experienced horse person and the novice will find enlightening and inspiring. Indeed anyone who admires that wonderful creature the horse will gain in both appreciation and insight. Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care successfully sets out to present a foundation for the sometimes complex, often controversial practice of caring for these animal companions in ways which are in harmony with their nature. Why the controversy? Because truth is always hard won; change is difficult, invariably resisted; and wisdom is never abundant.
This book will be a fine resource for the individual who wants to do the best for their horse but doesn’t know how to advance; or is not sure where to begin on the path to natural horse care. The reader will discover a well ordered presentation of foundational principles and basic techniques. Stephanie also points the way to additional resources. These will be of great utility to anyone genuinely pursuing excellence in the equine relationship.
Only very few creatures on our planet have been called to share our human destiny with the special closeness called companionship. Because of that relationship horses surely deserve our best efforts to provide them with long and healthy lives. By drawing upon her long experience and knowledge, the author has provided a means to achieve that goal.
A valuable tool for us, her book is also a gift to the horses she so obviously loves.”
Talk about personal development! The Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care doesn’t just translate to natural horse care, it transcends universal issues. A happy, healthy life means striking a balance. Stephanie’s breakdown of those who won’t do anything but the “norm” and those who won’t do anything that is the “norm,” are opposite extremes and extremes are never healthy because there are as many solutions as there are problems and personalities. Her book illuminates that point. Decisions are about doing what’s best, despite fear so that you can achieve balance for yourself and your animal – treat your horse as an individual because each animal has its own personality, or “horsenality.”
Thank you for having the courage to write this book. I have a whole new appreciation for being a subscriber to Soulful Equine. It has made me a better person and a better, healthier caretaker to the four-legged creatures in my life and the two-legged ones.”
I would title this book – Powerful Concepts for Life and a Healthy Horse. What Stephanie has worked into Guiding Principles of Natural Horse Care is best practices for living; and the horse care methods she recommends, become a natural extension of your value system. I like the terse and epigrammatic sayings that Stephanie has woven into the book. The table of contents is excellent, both in coverage and in flow. I have always enjoyed mine and Stephanie’s conversations and one of the subjects that was most amazing to me was her interaction with her horses and how she modeled her life based on lessons learned from this interaction. Stephanie’s success with her horses is not just on account of horsemanship methods, they are also on account of her hard work and passion.”
Horses don’t need to be as expensive and time consuming as many people believe.
