I am a natural hoof trimmer. I do not put shoes on horses. I trim the horse based on the great basin wild horses feet. It will never be an actual wild horses foot but at the end of my trim it will sure be as close as possible. I not only trim horses feet I'm a practitioner which means I also can give you tips on better ways to feed your horse more natural alternatives. I have also done natural horsemanship I've been around horses my whole life. Trimming takes time you won't see drastic changes on the first trim it'll take a while it's a slow process but at the end of each trimming cycle which is about 9 to 12 months you will see a difference and it will Be a better difference for you and your horse! I also fit boots for owners who don't want to put shoes on their horse but would like to go on rocky terrain I can measure boots for your horses feet.... See More

HORN FOOTWEAR "No Foot"-"No Horse"

Please send a message through my website to contact me. I am no longer servicing Illinois or surrounding areas. I am only training owners to trim their own horses via online courses and coaching at this time.

I graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor's in Animal Science with nutrition as my main focus in 2012. I studied the physiology and anatomy of horses while I worked for and managed the university horse farm. During this time I became a certified barefoot trimmer with emphasis on navicular and founder rehab through Ida Hammer studying the methods of Pete Ramey. During my apprenticeship I trimmed over 3,000 hooves covering all types of lamenesses founder, whiteline disease and thrush problems.
I have since found a better way of trimming which targets run forward/crushed low heels and works to restore them. This increases the soundness of the horse drastically and the thickness of the sole. It also increases the size of the hoof and therefore the stability of the horse.
The keys to success with barefoot horses are lots of exercise (I mean lots), diet, environment and excellent, intelligent hoof care.... See More
