This is Alix and her handsome donkey Joel. I had the pleasure of meeting them today and trimming Joel. He's such a sweet boy and there's just something about donkey ears that makes my heart melt 💗

I just want to share some photos of my beautiful donkey client Buddy. He's been on a hell of a journey and recently had a glowing review from his vet saying he's a picture of health now. It's been just over 12 months since I first met him and we started work on rehabbing his hooves. They're not perfect yet, but he's walking, trotting and cantering soundly, and he's doing so very well.

He's gone from "don't you even think about going near my hooves or I'll kick your face off" where he required complete knock out sedation for his first two trims and subsequently requiring me to work with him for well over and hour each time to accomplish a trim, to being trimmed happily in 15 to 20 minutes.

He's such a sweet sweet boy and I count myself privileged to have been able to help him on his journey to recovery.

I'd like to make a special notation that I wouldn't have been able to help Buddy without the expert advice and guidance of Lana Comeriato and Steve Mathews. Thank you guys 💜

Currently accepting new clients on PEI and I'm happy to travel to NB and NS for a minimum of 10 horses. If you can arrange to fill a day for me on the mainland, 10 to 15 horses, I will give you your first 4 trims for free as a thank you for sharing my name around.

If you or your friends are looking for a reliable consistent trimmer who will be on time, give me a call.

I specialize in trimming horses, all the way from minis to drafts and everything in between, including donkeys (mini and full size). I have been known to trim goats as well, however, it's not something I do on a regular basis, but can be done.

Pricing is as follows:
Minis: $30
Ponies, horses and donkeys: $40
Drafts, clydesdales & heavy breeds: $60

Happy Canada day to all my wonderful friends and clients! Thank you for your continued support 💗🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💗

I've had some interest from people to have me come over to the main land, however, not yet enough to warrant a full day and not need to pass on travel costs. Is anyone between PEI and the Windsor area of NS looking to get their horses trimmed?

As previously mentioned, if someone can line up a full day of 10 (minimum) to 15 horses, I will do your first 4 trims for free.

Give me a call or drop me a message on FB.

I'm currently accepting new clients here on PEI and also in NB & NS.

I do not yet have any clients off island, however I'm very happy to travel. If you or anyone you know is looking for a reliable trimmer give me a call or message me on Facebook.

If you're in NB or NS and you can line up 10 to 15 horses for a day, I will give you your first 4 trims for free.

I don't want to charge travel costs, so to make the trip viable and not pass on my costs to you, my clients, I need minimum of 10 horses for the day.

Thank you to his new owners for calling me, thank you to Steve Mathews for your expert long distance assistance, thank you Lana Comeriato for putting me in contact with Steve, and thank you to Dr Kim Ryan from Island Veterinary Services for all her help.

by Linda Chamberlain Meet Marc Ferrador. He was a much-respected farrier who had serious doubts about nailing shoes to horses’ hooves and decided to do something about it. Colleagues thought …

This sweet lovely mare used to have quite a bit of trouble feeling comfortable with getting her feet trimmed.

Now...not so much.

I'm learning lots of new things about hoof care. There's so much to it. I love learning and engaging my mind. Can't wait to share new information with my valued clients and friends!

Remove the blame from the horse...

Our 'Seeking Reflexes' course will no longer be open for new registrations in 12 hours time and will not reopen registration for another 18 months. This course seeks to improve the skill of the rider and show how the rider affects the horse and how the horse affects the rider. Get yourself hours of video viewing over the holiday period and new ideas/techniques to try with your horse.

If there's one thing I will ALWAYS do, it is retain a "learning mind". An article I have just read about hoof trimming challenges the understanding I already had, but I will never stop investigating, experimenting and learning to better the horse world for the horse.

I've been working on getting this mare's hoof to a more correct and less upright angle. First photo in this series was taken in May, the second in September and the third was November 6th.

These hooves belong to a handsome pony gelding who came home from a lease with less than ideal hoof health. Photo on the left is April 21st. Photo on the right is November 6th. We're making progress!

Barefoot trimming is fast becoming a popular method of hoof care. Why? Because it has been researched and studied to be one of the best methods of maintaining not only your horse's feet, but their overall health. If your horse does not have good, strong, healthy hooves, chances are that the horse's overall health is suffering. Hoof health is the foundation of a healthy horse. Is your horse suffering from any of the following symptoms?

Regular bruising
Regular abscessing
Run forward heels
Thrush
Wall Separation
Under developed frogs
Thin soles
Sand cracks
Toe cracks / Quarter Cracks / Heel Cracks
Short striding
Recurring lameness

All of these issues can be addressed with proper and regular trimming. Trimming that will promote healthy growth and get your horse feeling its best on it's feet.

Give me a call, send a text or message me here to discuss your horse's needs.
