Barefoot Horse - barefoot hoof trimming and care

I've owned and managed barefoot horses for over 15 years. It's been a long journey from when I started to this point in time, but a thoroughly rewarding one.

It wasn't until I got Grace that I decided to turn professional. As one vet pointed out, just doing my own I could help one or two, by offering the service to others I have the opportunity to help many more.

But trimming my own when I can review and touch up every day if I want to and have full control over their welfare and management is very different to trimming a horse every four weeks or so.

So I decided to get some professional training and after lots of hard work I qualified with the AANHCP scoring 90% in my final exam.

I now run my own business; Barefoot South. I have a very a strict code of ethics which puts your horse's welfare at the centre of any care recommendations. The ultimate test always being 'Sound or lame?'.

That is my only agenda; your horse's health and soundness; I don't promote any particular products, boots, feeds or otherwise. The focus is always what is going to work for you and your horse.

I will always be a student of the horse and their hooves; not trying to master nature, but learning how to facilitate the natural hoof in all its glory.
