Natural Hoof Prints

Introduction

Welcome to newsletter for Natural Balance Principles and EDSS, Inc.. Natural Hoof Prints is our way of keeping in touch with our customers and hopefully much more of the equine industry. Our mission at EDSS, Inc is:

To provide Equine Professionals and Horsemen with information and products that are designed to promote soundness through Natural Guidelines for Hoof Balance.

We strongly believe in, and strive to meet, this overall goal. We are constantly looking for better ways to approach lower leg pathologies, and trying to make products that are easy to use, yet as effective as possible. The other aspect of our mission is partially accomplished through this Newsletter. Information is just as important, if not more important, than the product itself. The more information available to everyone, the better chance we have of successfully treating or curing the pathologies that plague our horses.

The format and subjects that will be covered in this publication consist of various articles and editorials from Gene Ovnicek and myself. We will cover new techniques that we have found to be beneficial in using our products, as well as other tools. Gene will continually print his findings from ongoing studies on "servicing the needs of the equine foot."  We will keep you up to date on any new products we make available. In addition to our own articles, we will print many letters from customers or other interested persons, dealing with their successes, failures or other findings. There are a number of colleagues that have been very closely involved and have worked very hard in conjunction with EDSS, Inc. that will from time to time publish some of their own findings or insights. Finally, we will personally address many questions that are frequently posed. This format will allow many more people who have the same questions to get help. This publication will come out about every quarter, give or take a month.

For those of you who do not know me, I am Cody Ovnicek, Gene Ovnicek’s son, and manage most of the business tasks at EDSS, Inc. I am not a farrier and Gene is not a businessman, but we still possess the same goal, to help our horses. Working together, we utilizing each other’s strengths and recognizing our own weaknesses. Our collaboration helps us accomplish more than we would working by ourselves. This working together, or synergy, has given us the opportunity to grow and learn. We feel that this relationship is very important to realizing our goals. By getting as many people involved and sharing strengths and insights, we can continue to make progress toward equine soundness.
