Education is the key Throughout the process, I will

encourage you to learn, read, research and ask questions. Knowing what you

are doing and why, is vital to the health of your horse.

I need to know BEFORE we make any appointments, if you are willing to take this new path in the care of your horse…and if you are able to make a commitment to your horse for a minimum of 1 year to see the process through.

This is my specialty. I am committed to the horses in my care. I maintain a limited number of clients so I am available for extra visits and emergencies.

Because of the demand for my services, time and travel, canceled/missed appointments may be filled by new clients, and may not be available for you in the future.

Performance barefoot riding requires the

knowledge of a professional barefoot trimmer

Following a whole horse care plan will give your horse the health it

needs to grow a foot that can travel the rough terrain they were born to

move on.

Just as athletes condition themselves for competition, the

horse needs to have his body and feet conditioned for rough terrain.

Hoof Boots are essential in transitions from shoes,

rehabilitation, and for when your horse is not conditioned for a terrain you wish to ride on.

Let’s Get on the Same

“If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve

always got!” –Mark Twain Your horse’s pathology must dictate what needs to be done as well as the

trim interval that fit’s him/her. Rehabilitation trims may be every 2-3

weeks in the beginning for serious cases.

A rehabilitation trim and a maintenance trim differ from horse to

horse and from trim to trim. A farrier’s traditional pasture trim is

not the same as a barefoot trim.

You pay more money for a front set of shoes than a natural barefoot trim. Shoes not only damage your horses

hooves and body, but you throw them away every 6-12 weeks and buy new

ones.

This is whole horse care and is much more than just a trim.

Before we get started with a Rehabilitation Plan for your horse, I would like to outline my expectations from “you”, the owner. Since my approach is very different from conventional veterinary and farrier treatments, first , you must be willing to think differently. My recommendations are not suggestions. They are critical to the success of rehabilitation, and are outlined in detail in my Hoof Rehabilitation Care Plan. We need to work as a team. If we cannot do this, I cannot help you rehabilitate your horse. If you are contacting me, chances are you are not happy with “what you’ve got”, and chances are you and your horse are out of options. My approach goes beyond just trimming hooves. It’s creating a healthy horse through it’s diet, environment, and regular maintenance of hooves and teeth.

Respecting what the horse has adapted to in nature, and giving them the space to be horses is crucial.

Your first challenge will be acquiring patience to see this through until your horse grows new feet from the coronet to the ground. The length of time, the quality of growth and transition to barefoot soundness will be determined by how well YOU follow the plan, and where your horse is “health-wise” when we start.

The next challenge is the trim frequency and price. If you don’t want to keep getting what you’ve always got, you need to understand that you cannot do what you’ve always done! Leave those traditions behind- they will not help your horse. If you wait until your horse looks like it needs to be trimmed, you waited too long. I offer customized solutions beyond just treating symptoms with confinement, drugs and shoeing methods. There is a better way.
