Silky's barefoot now...

well, I have pulled the eggbars on the paint mare. She's now in Boa boots w/pads that have the frog area cut out. She is actually extending out when she moves and has lost alot of stiffness in the front end. She's still sore of course, it's all new to her, having stimulation and flexation in her hoof capsules, but overall she's moving better.

Trimming horses...

I am a natural barefoot trimmer in the Pacific NW. I am attempting to build my clientel and create a website to sell barefoot horse products that promote horse health. I am a certified farrier that converted to the barefoot methods nearly 3 years ago and have never looked back. All my horses are happy and healthy and going strong, one of which after nearly 20 years of shoeing. I am currently undertaking 2 horses, both of which are in my herd, to bring over barefoot. One has underslung heels and the other is "navicular". The horse with underslung heels has come along way in the last year and is sound as is, I am just working on bringing his feet back into a more natural shape. This weekend we will pull the eggbar shoes on the navicular mare. Stay tuned for pics and more info.
