Specialising in Whole Horse Holistic Hoofcare
Horses feet have existed over millions of years. The Constant movement over varied terrain maintains the balance and growth.
The hooves are:
Fantastic structures that thrive on being used, they have the ability to withstand and dissipate concussive forces.
My aim is to assist you to Whole Horse Healthcare. I can assist you with lameness and sound issues.
I focus on hooves, movement, balanced trimming and diet.
Services include:
1st Assessment, Consultation & Trimming
Regular Trimming Service
Boot Fitting Service
Lameness Prevention
Rehabilitation
Holistic Therapy
Allow Me to Help your Horse to a Healthy Metal Free Life.
To quote Maureen Tierney....
"If your horse is not sound when the shoes come off, your horse wasn't sound when the shoes were on"
What we do is mimic what the ground would do to a hoof.
The ground has no knife, no agenda, no ideal. The ground doesn't cut anything, it doesn't rasp all of the outer wall.
The ground doesn't think.
The heels land the hoof rotates forward and the toe abraises, that's it.
A horse living in the wild moves enough to keep his hooves nicely trimmed, wall at sole level. Our horses in human care don't move nearly enough, so we help out. We think like the ground.
The point is that need to think less, stop micro managing the hoof, stop trying to fix or even think we can fix hoof problems, stop trying to make a pretty looking hoof.....We get the diet correct, we copy the action of the ground and we trust in nature.
It makes sense, only to trim what the ground would trim.. think about this!
No hoof, No horse, No gut, No horse
"Horses are born without shoes and have lived without shoes for millions of years. Many say they need shoes now because we ride them. To them I say that the Native Americans - who rode horses that they found or stole, had no farriers and their horses had no shoes after they fell off - regularly outrode the cavalry . . . barefoot".
The horses that I rode in Mongolia 2019 were never trimmed, never!
