DVD testimonial:

I bought " Balanced Shoeing" and have watched it several times. Dennis demonstrates not only the best horse shoeing techniques I have ever seen, he gives the best ways for trimming and shoeing for the safety and comfort for your horse. I have let several of my friends watch the DVD ( two are farriers). We all agreed, the "Balanced Shoeing" DVD by Dennis Cappel is one of the most Informative instructional lessons we have ever watched. ~G. Faulkner , KY
