Cindy Valoura - Cross Equine Consulting, LLC Natural Hoof Care by Cindy Valoura I can help you and your horse transition to barefoot or maintain an optimum barefoot lifestyle through the Natural Trim. Cindy

Not all barefoot trims are the same and some are downright harmful. The "Natural Trim" is a barefoot trim method that mimics the hoof wear patterns of U.S. Great Basin wild horses. It is non-invasive and encourages the hoof to develop in a way that will provide the best shape, support and structure for the individual horse. Shoeing does not allow for such hoof development which can lead to problem

s for the hoof and the horse. The wild horse hoof is a strong, healthy model of what a hoof should be and it has much to teach us about the care of domestic hooves. It is fascinating to see a hoof transform following de-shoeing and a regular cycle of natural trimming. The horse begins grows the right hoof for his body and can feel his feet in a very different way. Questions? Contact me by phone, email or through Facebook!

Trim #3 for this horse. Out with the old and in with the new. Good balanced natural trims on a 4-6 week cycle facilitate positive changes. We don’t fix the hoof but rather set the horse up to be able to grow the hoof he needs by mimicking natural wear. I’m also working with his mind. This guy has had some very bad experiences in the past around trimming.

Today at the office was a reminder of why I have the best job. I just adore the folks I work for and they are very good to me. Many have become friends. Seeing them is a time to catch up and sometimes discuss difficult life events, happy occasions and all manner of things we humans feel on a daily basis. How lucky am I to connect with so many great people! They sometimes give me veggies from the garden, baked goods, trimming supplies and every now and then they take me for a ride…literally! Today I rode Jack for the first time after his trim was finished. I have come to love bay Standardbred geldings as every one I trim is a doll. What an awesome trail ride with Stephanie and her horses, Jack and Cash!

Simply having a hill in their environment will help horses with their physical condition, muscular tone and surely their hearts and lungs will benefit as well. If a natural hillside or a created hill (berm) is positioned between their food and water, for example, it will encourage them to travel up and down several times a day.

If adopting a horse from a rescue be sure to ask if the horse was good for the farrier/trimmer AND if it was sedated or not. This is critical information for you and the future hoof care professional.

Blue was a wonderful guy to trim and he will be missed by many. My condolences to Elizabeth Shaw and everyone who loved this sweet pony.

We very unexpectedly lost the farm's beloved pony, Blue, Monday evening.
He played a huge part in the lesson programs, camps, pony parties, and many other events over the years. He kindly gave many kids their first horse experiences over the years and added to horsemanship skills for others. He is dearly missed already.
In memory of this sweet pony, we would so appreciate any stories or pictures you wish to share of your time with sweet Blue.
