Case Studies
Continuously losing shoes ?
Troy came to me as he seemed to be losing shoes every week - he is now barefoot, has hard neat feet and rides out happily.
Cracked Hooves ?
Shadow came to me as his front hooves were cracking and crumbling away. He was already shoeless behind. After his first trim he was good to hack on every surface, his owner has now taken her other three horses barefoot aswell.
Never thought your horses would cope without shoes ?
Suki & Emily moved to a barefoot yard and were asked to remove their shoes. With some nervousness their owners made the transition through understanding how diet, exercise and environment affect the hoof. They are now great advocates and have started up their own barefoot yard.
Unshood horses can't go on the road ?
My horse, who is now 26 years old went barefoot 4 years ago after a stint in remedial shoes. She can now hack out on any surface - tarmac, loose surfaces, thick mud - whatever is needed. Thank goodness slipping on roads is not a worry anymore!
