Mallee Natural Hoof Care

25/08/2025

I am delighted to announce the resumption of my equine trimming services, after a lengthy break for my physical health, As I rebuild and expand my client base, I am inviting new client horses while prioritizing my physical well-being to ensure exceptional long term service to this job. To guarantee a seamless and efficient experience, I have established the following guidelines for prospective clients:

- The horse must be capable of standing quietly for the duration of the trim, acknowledging that every horse is unique while minimizing risk.

- Payment is required on the day of service, immediately following the trim's completion, and can be made via cash or bank transfer.

- The horse must be held by the owner or an experienced handler, ensuring safety and liability. I cannot have horses held by young inexperienced children, or tied up without the owners attention.

As a dedicated and patient barefoot trimmer, my primary focus is on empowering long-term barefoot soundness. With extensive experience in addressing various hoof pathologies, I invite you to contact me for your equine trimming needs, unlocking your horse's full potential.

Services are available in Mildura and surrounding areas, with flexible travel arrangements possible for a sufficient number of clients, because your horse's well-being matters, and all horses should feel comfortable and heard around their trimmer!

Renmark Trip On The 29th of Jan!

Renmark and surrounding, a trip has been confirmed for the 29th of this month. I still have plenty of availability for this trip, so please reach out if you are interested and I can send through more info!

⭐Overland corner/Barmera/surrounding areas⭐

I will be starting a regular 4-5 week run to these areas in the new year! I am looking for enough interest to make this trip happen!

I specialize in Barefoot trimming, and have a keen interest in the soundness of horses/ponies in all stages of life, from the youngsters, to the show jumpers, dressage horses, paddock companions and more.

I am confident around all types of horses no matter the age or size. However, the safety and welfare of myself, the horse & handler is most important to me so I will not take on particularly dangerous horses or possible extra fees will incur.

Please share this post around to all local pages in the Barmera/Overland corner areas to help me make this trip happen!

Don't hesitate to send me a message with any questions, I'm happy to answer them all!

Price will be $65 a horse but if more then 3 horses are in 1 place, I am happy to discuss a discount.

Dates are not confirmed as of yet. So this is purely an EOI at this stage.

Thanks all!

RIVERLAND AREA
(Renmark/Loxton/surrounding)

I am taking an EOI for the 4th of September to travel down for a trimming day.

I am a true barefoot trimmer, I specialize in long term soundness of the horse and looking at the big picture, not just the hooves. I have experience working with lots of different horses and ponies, nervous types and the confident ones too. I have great patience and spend the time to build a good rapport with the equine I'm trimming.

I can assist with diet suggestions/those transitioning from shod to barefoot/ maintenance trims/horses with a wide range of pathologies (Laminitis, thrush, seedy toe, underrun heels, trimming to advice from x-rays etc) and other hoof related needs. Don't be afraid to ask if you need help with your equines hooves!

I will be traveling down from Mildura, so will need numbers confirmed to be able to do this trip. If this trip is successful, I will aim to travel down every 5 weeks starting from November.

Please share around to any groups local to Renmark/Loxton. And send me a message to show your interest.

Thanks!

New open availability!

I have current availability to travel to 2 new clients! I can accept anywhere between 1-4 new horses per client (per location travelled to)

I am experienced in trimming all sorts of horses all with varying temperaments and physical abilities. I adapt myself and how I trim to accommodate the horse I'm working with. There is no 'one size fits all' approach to my work.

I am available most mornings on weekdays, with some selected times on weekends (afternoons only)

Please get in contact if your interested, I'm happy to discuss further and answer any questions.
Thankyou 🙂

A one trim difference in this old mare, who I have taken into my care ❤️

A good day is a day full of trimming 🐴

Photo 1 and 2 are a lovely Arab x who has come a long way in his hoof journey, still needs to get a bit lower in the heel but is a great improvement from a couple of months ago.

Photo 3 is an adorable Shetland x who's come from long and underrun heels, and quite bad imbalances. She is starting to show some great benefits from regular trims, and a good owner who is spending the time to maintain her overall health. It all adds up!

⭐ Valued clients ⭐

Great news! After many weeks off following hand surgery. Everything is healing as it should be and I'm almost back trimming! I'm hoping no more then 2-3 weeks before I can start back with light trimming duties.

I'm opening up a weekday morning time for a new client with up to 3 horses at one time. But I have 3 open slots with more flexible times for those who can travel to me in Merbein! I do charge a small travel fee to come to you, but no extra fee if you travel to me.

For my current clients, send me a message and we can organize a time for your horses/ponies to be trimmed again.

Thankyou all for your patience throughout this time!

Here is a throwback photo to an almost finished (inside was balanced up) before and after trim photo of a very overdue laminitic pony! The difference in this ponies walk after just one trim was amazing ⭐❤️

🐴 Australian hoof trimmers (the shared post) has a wonderful ‼️FREE‼️ online booklet on Laminitis! 🐴

Have you ever heard "my horse has laminitis" "your horse could be at risk of laminitis" and wondered what ACTUALLY is Laminitis? The booklet gives amazing information on what it is, what are the signs, laminitis first aid and more!

I highly recommend all my clients, whether you have a laminitis prone horse, or you may have one in the future, to have a read. It's an essential thing for all horse owners to be aware of to avoid a big issue.

The sooner laminitis is spotted and helped, the better future your horse will get. 🐴

LAMINITIS: Do you know the facts?

Head on over to our website and download your free pdf version of the Founder Facts booklet!
Handy knowledge for all horse owners and great to forward on to clients.

A beautiful Sunday morning for trimming!
Here is a beautiful 2yo gelding hoof ⭐

We've had some rain over the last 2 days so it's been great having soft hooves to trim for a change!

We have treated him for his very mild thrush, and brought the outside heel back after this photo was taken ❤️
