ALL methods, styles, and schools of thought welcome, the only stipulation is that you are able to provide barefoot trimming services to customers. The Horse's Hoof, as a generic barefoot resource, provides this as a public service, and not as an endorsement of any trimmer or method listed. Please be honest in your listing and do not misrepresent yourself or your qualifications. I rely on information provided to me, and have not verified any qualifications. If an organization complains that someone is making a qualification claim that is not true, I will happily assist the trimmer by removing the inaccurate info immediately :) Owners: for more help on choosing a trimmer, please read Help!

These are not really ads, they are listings, so I want them to appear uniform and I require a name, city and state for that.

We've gone through some founder here a few years back, which helped me develop a protocol that's effective, relatively quick-recovery, and easy to administer; it involves appropriate trimming and strict diet control.

www.barefootbliss.org
AANHCP Certified Natural Hoof Care Practitioner in Training. Available throughout Minnesota and some parts of Wisconsin. Proud "parent" of six Arabians, ages 8 to 20 years old, and two Quarab yearlings. I had horses of my own as a child and again as an adult for the past 15 years. Although I have only ridden for pleasure during the past 10 years, I did compete in reining for several years with my now-20-year-old beloved Arabian gelding who holds numerous Regional and US National Championship titles in both amateur and open classes. It was this experience where I first witnessed the highly unnatural lifestyle that many show horses sustain and ultimately led me to the path I am on currently. In addition, I have had a number of babies born at 'home' and understand first-hand how crucial it is for them to not only be properly balanced but also how critical it is for them to have an appropriately patient and gentle trimming experience from the beginning.

@ hotmail.com, healthy hoof...healthy horse... Equine Hoof & Health Specialist, I offer services in BAREFOOT trimming to create healthy & functional hooves for pleasure & performance horses. I have been trimming since August 2002. Also, over the past 5 years I have seen this method help numerous horses recover from founder, laminitis, navicular, flat feet, under-run heels, club foot, contracted heels, thin walls, thrush & every other chronic so called incurable disease that face our horses. Along with this I apply HOMEOPATHY as part of my work, this has been a life-long thing for me. (44 yrs) Within the last 4 years I have added the support of ESSENTIAL OILS. PROPER NUTRITION & nutritional healing have always been part of the healthy horse idea. DYNAMITE helps with their synergestly balanced products. In 1990 I was able to see PAT PARELLI & have always applied NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP techniques from all the different methods that are out there now. Since first becoming a horsemen myself in 1989, the horse has been my best teacher especially in understanding the NATURE of him. All these things work very well together to help me help the horse. Education from the research of ALL of the following people: Dr. Strasser, DVM, Dr. Bowker, Professor of anatomy at Michigan State University, James & Yvonne Welz's hoof clinics, Pete Ramey & Jamie Jackson, Homeopathy from my Mom, & oils & nutrition from the horse. I travel approximately 1 hour radius from my home in Valley Center CA, or you can ship in. I also am available for education/info days. (12/07) |

@ att.net - Phone: 530-533-7669 - Website: www.softouchnaturalhorsecare.com I am focusing now on the abrasive trim method (angle grinder/flap disc), as I feel it produces superior results and I am convinced that the horses like the process far better than the conventional way. I have made a one hour DVD to help trimmers get started using the abrasive method. I also offer one and two day clinics to teach about barefoot concepts in general (day one) and to trim this new way (abrasive method, day two). Check my website for upcoming clinic dates and locations. I also offer private lessons. Using this method to trim makes it possible for those who are otherwise not able to handle the physical strain of trimming with conventional tools to do a nice job. The horses appreciate the shorter time it takes to trim as well. (10/07) |

email: no_shoes9 @ hotmail.com Website: www.natureshoofcare.com I was trained as a traditional farrier at the Oklahoma Horseshoeing School 1998. In 2001, I attended a Strasser info clinic that changed my life (and my way of trimming!) Although I am not certified by Dr Strasser, I have adapted some of her methods and style of trimming and many horses have been saved and live a fully functional life, and I owe it all to her! I have started an association in Ontario, Canada to protect the natural barefoot trim, the Natures Barefoot Hoofcare Guild Incorporated, and I have opened a rehab centre and trimming school.
