~~~~~~~~~~ BAREFOOT ~ NATURAL HOOF TRIMMING ~~~~~~~~~~
Professional Horse Trimming Services
Years of trimming and shoeing experience have taught me the harmful effects of steel shoes on horses.
Traditional shoeing methods have, at times, greatly contributed to pain and unnecessary lameness in horses.
As a result, many of today's hoof problems can be considered to be "man-made."
Poor quality of trimming and shoeing may cause or further aggravate hoof disease such as contracted heels, navicular syndrome, laminitis, arthritis and many others.
As a result, I no longer shoe my horses or trim them with traditional methods.
I now use what some would call the "barefoot" or "natural" trim method.
The good news is that most horses can recover from the harmful effects of shoeing.
And they can be conditioned to go barefoot for life.
Barefoot horses are healthy and happy.
We are absolutely committed to the well-being of this majestic creature called the horse.
Remember, your horse can live and perform comfortably under saddle without steel shoes!
I will properly trim your horse's hooves or teach you the skill of how to keep him barefoot forever.
