My philosophies are based on balance and what is best for the health of the horse. I am an active member and practitioner of Progressive hoof care practitioners and keep current on continuing education.
I find having a calm demeanor is extremely important when working with horses, as well as a whole lot of patience. In my opinion, when I bring this attitude and energy to every appointment, things run a lot smoother.
Being an opened minded hoof care provider, I bring a lot of "out of the box" ideas when it comes to helping horses. I know that not every horse is the same, so why try and trim and shoe/boot the same? I will evaluate every horse differently and individually. Having rehabilitation cases under my belt has brought me to this mindset.
Every horse is different when treating founder, laminitis, navicular, club foot.... or even a maintenance trim.
I have been specializing in barefoot trimming for the past 7 years and have rehabbed many horses out of traditional metal shoes. I am dedicated to my client's needs when it comes to helping their horses transition to barefoot.
