I advocate for barefoot trimming done in a sane manner, in which the horse is trimmed to landmarks on the sole with the goal of eventually getting the horse to have a fully functional foot that is in dynamic balance with the rest of the horse’s conformation. I realize that not all horses have the ability to go barefoot, and need shoes for protection, traction or for therapeutic reasons, and so I can also apply shoes, and use similar principles to produce a foot that functions as well as it can. I have studied the methods of many farriers and barefoot trimmers and I use the ideas and methods that I feel make the most sense when looking at the anatomy and function of the foot and the balance of the foot in regards to the whole horse. I strongly believe in client education and do my best to make sure that, if interested, the client knows what I am doing and why.
