THE NATURAL PERFORMANACE BAREFOOT TRIM, is a trim designed to reflect the interior anatomy of the hoof, as well as the feet of healthy wild horses - this creates a hoof that has all the functions nature intended. This trim creates a hoof that is healthy and functional for any activity you may want to do with your horse - including mountain trail riding & equestrian sports where shoes are usually considered necessary. A healthy, balanced and conditioned hoof is far superior to a shod hoof.

HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR HORSES FEET?
Are your horse's feet healthy?
Are you unsure of what a healthy hoof looks like?
When you look at your horse's feet what do you see?
Do you see a hoof that is symmetrical, or is it oblong?
No matter what you do, do your horse's feet crack or split?
When you pick out your horse's feet, do they smell?
Are your horse's strides stiff and choppy?

THESE ARE A FEW ISSUES that all horse owners have had at one point or another. The real question is, how do we fix these issues?

THERE ARE 3 KEY INGREDIENTS for, not only healthy feet but a healthy horse as well.

FEED: Horses are grazers and require grass or grass hay.

MOVEMENT: Being grazers horses are movers. They tend to move more at night than during the day.

TRIMS: Regularly scheduled trims. 4-6 weeks. The feet do not stop growing in the winter.

SUCCESSFUL BAREFOOT TRIMMING is a process. It takes time to rehabilitate a hoof to reflect health.
Every horse has a story that is told with their feet and reflected in their body. Barefoot trimming can help solve lameness; eliminate the effects of laminitis and founder; and solve body issues in the horses frame.

YET NONE OF THIS IS DONE without the help of YOU, the owner. For with horses that have issues, it's a team effort to enable your horse to heal as quickly as possible, many pathologies take time to develop - meaning they can take time and work to resolve.

IT'S MORE THAN JUST TRIMMING.... I educate clients about their horse's feet, this is also part of the trim. Owners that better understand their horse's feet, end up with not only healthier hooves, but healthier horses.

SET-UP TRIMS consist of an evaluation, not only the feet but movement as well.
