He was admired and respected for his knowledge, achievements and outstanding results! His intuitive insight and dedication to the health and well-being of horses made him an icon in the horse world. He was sought after to consult with vets, trainers and professional horseman on a regular basis. His opinion was valuable and trusted! Jim trained racehorses for over 34 years in a wheelchair. With, his wife and partner Sallie, who is a trainer in her own right, the two of them together developed horse therapy techniques that continue to be widely used and very popular today! A dynamic combination that was way ahead of their time! 1968 was the year Jim Ricken’s Foot Formula #1 TM was formulated and the journey began! Diligence and fortitude through the years has validated that Jim’s foot dressing is the first and original of it’s kind.
