Trim a hoof with me! Hoof wall separation is a very common issue in goats. Here in the wetter part of the world, it's a huge headache for goat owners. Even the most loved and well cared for animals can get this pesky ailment.

Do you have questions? Want me to make more videos like this? Please let me know and I'll be happy to help! I have been studying and working with goats hooves (specifically) for over a decade. I'm happy to share what I've learned for those too far away to benefit from my trimming services here in Washington.

❗️❗️Please read this if you are a customer of mine ❗️❗️

It may come as no surprise to hear that I've been struggling with back pain lately. What is surprising is that rather than being triggered by bending over and trimming goats, driving is where I feel the most pain. Because of this I have had to trim my range down a little. It makes me sad because I have been working hard to make these trips. I will no longer be regularly visiting Lewis County, and though I will visit places nearby, it will not be as often as before and I may have to charge more.

Most of what I do is in Snohomish, King, Skagit, Island and Whatcom County.

I've been experimenting with back braces and cushions for my car seat and I'm feeling a little better. Massages help a lot, but OH MY are they expensive!

It also hurts my back to trim goats on stanchions. This might not make any sense to you, but if I'm not able to fully bend over or squat as I would with a goat on the ground, it puts me in an awkward position and forces my back to do most of the work my hips should be doing. My preference has become to have the goat standing up against the wall or a sturdy fence. We can hook them to the fence or a loop that's been screwed into the wall and it becomes a very easy time!

As I get older I have to be more protective of my body and what I'm willing to put myself through. I'm having to take less risks than before so that I can stay healthy and continue to offer this service.

❗️❗️ I ask that everyone have their animals confined to a small pen or leashed and ready prior to my arrival. If I arrive to a property and your goats are loose and not able to be quickly and reliably confined, I may have to turn you away as a customer until you are able to do so❗️❗️

As I sit here rescheduling folks due to the weather, I can't help but think about how grateful I am for every single one of you. This business is my sole source of income and full time job. After almost 11 years, it can finally "pay the bills". I conceptualized this business when I was only 14 years old. I grew up extremely poor. I'm talking no electricity, no clean water, poor. The few goats I got to trim a week really held me over as I grew up. Eventually, I had to drop out of high-school as it interfered with my ability to support myself.

I'm 25 now, my content is used to educate people all over the world and can even be seen in the classes of some universities. I want to learn endlessly about goats health and hoof care and share my knowledge to help others.

One day, when my hands stop working, I will write a book to help others take my place.

It was all worth it! Thank you so much for trusting me with the care of your precious animals.

Pictured below is one of my favorite photos from when I hiked Mount Rainier. A trip I was only able to take because of the amazing flexibility of owning my owning business!

COCO UPDATE!

02/05/2025

Today's trip is canceled 👎 I can't trim your goats hooves if I die on my way there! 😅

Snow and ice on the roadway have contributed to multiple accidents on I-405 early Wednesday morning.

Coco, a 6-year-old Alpine goat, was rescued yesterday by a kind family friend. She has never had her hooves trimmed and is suffering from severe laminitis due to a poor diet of grain and alfalfa. I've never seen a young goat with such severe laminitis. I'm determined to help and will use all my knowledge to try and save her. Follow her journey with us.

Yesterday on Whidbey was a blast. I normally work alone, but my 2 favorite fellow unicyclists (boyfriend and best friend) joined along for the fun this time! They got to learn about different farm animals and see uncommon hoof conditions and treatments in person.

Thank you Babe the goat for helping me fix my car so I can get back out there trimming goat hooves! 😁

I am frequently asked what can be done to improve the health of goats' hooves between trimming sessions. The truth is, without major changes to your property, most people will have a hard time. Goats' ancestors, Ibex, naturally live in a rocky, arid environment. It does rain, but due to the rocky texture of the soil, water does not pool up and slides right off the ground, allowing goats' hooves to dry and maintain themselves. Here in the PNW, our soil naturally absorbs and holds onto water for months at a time. This is horrible for your goats' hooves. It weakens the white line and sole of the hoof so badly they sometimes completely fall apart.

I have seen undeniable improvements to goats' hoof health throughout my career with a simple solution: adding large stones to the habitat of your pet goat. In the photo, you can see 4 to 6-inch road base rock. Due to the size of the rocks, your goats can stand mud-free even in the wettest season. Over time, the rocks sink partially into the ground, and the gaps can be filled with slightly smaller rocks. I have seen goats' hooves completely recover after years of issues once this is done.

Why do I recommend such large rocks over normal gravel or sand? Aside from the fact that our soil seems to swallow smaller rocks whole, they have a tendency to get stuck in goat hooves. Sand, without a rock base, tends to hold water and allows your goats' hooves to sink into it.

I don't sell or provide insight as to where you can purchase these rocks, sorry. I'm sure your local landscaping/hardware/quarry can help!

Please feel free to share photos and mud solutions that have worked for you and your goats hooves in the past!
