Now I've achieved my Equine Sciences Degree including hoofcare training, this page will be used to share interesting information, products and progress of some of my clients horses. I started my hoof trimming training in 2013 after trimming my own horses for a while before this, with the support of my wonderful trimmer (who then became one of my instructors!) I have experience working with horses,
ponies and donkeys with various pathologies and issues as well as routine maintenance trims. I'm able to offer advice and suggestions relating to diet and management; healthy hooves are part of a healthy horse afterall! Trimming alone, no matter how regular, cannot make a healthy, functional hoof without the other pieces of the puzzle in place. The importance of the diet as a big part of a holistic approach to horse keeping can not be emphasised enough. I now carry hoof boot fit kits for Cavallo (full set), CLB (full set) Equine Fusion (Full set) Easyboot Gloves (reg) Flex Boots (full set) Scoot Boots (full set) and Renegade Vipers (full set). Hoof boots are often an important part of transitioning from conventional shoes or rehabbing pathologies such as laminitis and navicular, but also useful for those who find stoney ground a challenge during hacking, for example. If anyone requires other boots, I’m happy to look into kits for these too. I’m currently studying Equine Iridology - using marks on the iris of the horse’s eye to pin point issues in the whole horse. It’s very interesting and so far, seems very accurate. It’s no substitute for veterinary attention, but another useful tool that can be used to support holistic horse care. I’m also attuned/trained to Reiki Level 2, with experience in using this with horses as part of that training.
