The Horse’s Hoof Resources
What is Hoof Help Online?
Hoof Help Online is brought to you by husband & wife team, James and Yvonne Welz, who together founded The Horse’s Hoof Magazine and website in 2000. James and Yvonne have spent the past 2+ decades guiding horse owners in successful barefoot horse trimming and management. We created the first version of Hoof Help Online in 2011, and then completely rebuilt it on a powerful new platform in 2023, scaling up for the future.

Simply cancel before 7 days for no fee, and you can even download the entire library of The Horse’s Hoof Magazine, Issues 1-80, during that time! Of course, your financial support helps us keep producing great barefoot horse content.

You will enjoy full-featured feeds, such as “Your Barefoot Stories” and “Help Me! Hoof Photos” where you can chat and post photos, video links, gifs, write mini-articles, and more. Direct messaging and threaded conversations allow you to build meaningful relationships with like-minded horse owners.
Free Basic Barefoot Trimming Course: Participate in a detailed step-by-step course that will teach you how to apply a safe, effective trim that can transform your horse’s hooves for the better.

Article Library: Hundreds of articles covering barefoot trimming theory and how-to, hoof and horse care, pathology (laminitis, navicular), barefoot Q&As, and a full Learning Center with resources from many well-known experts. Many of these articles were written specifically for Hoof Help Online, and are unique.

The goal of James & I, from the time we first began down the barefoot path, has simply been to share our information and resources, and to help others! This is not about gurus or trademarked methods, or who is “right” and who is “wrong” – this is about coming together in unity to share ideas and experiences. We are all unique, we have different horses and different situations, and there is so much to learn FROM EACH OTHER!
The Horse’s Hoof has been a cheerleader for the entire barefoot movement since 2000. Hoof Help Online, an online membership site that we created in 2011 for James to share his life’s work with others, is a place where you can receive direct input from us. Both these platforms work together to provide a welcoming place where barefoot enthusiasts can stand on common ground. We can provide crucial support for anyone interested in learning about barefoot horse care.
