I graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor's in Animal Science with nutrition as my main focus in 2012. I studied the physiology and anatomy of horses while I worked for and managed the university horse farm. During this time I became a certified barefoot trimmer with emphasis on navicular and founder rehab through Ida Hammer studying the methods of Pete Ramey. During my apprenticeship I trimmed over 3,000 hooves covering all types of lamenesses founder, whiteline disease and thrush problems. I have since found a better way of trimming which targets run forward/crushed low heels and works to restore them. This increases the soundness of the horse drastically and the thickness of the sole. It also increases the size of the hoof and therefore the stability of the horse.
I now also offer online courses and one on one coaching if you have decided to start your hoof care journey for your own horses.
The keys to success with barefoot horses are diet, environment, lots of exercise and excellent, intelligent hoof care. I can help choose a diet specific to individual horses needs, and help bring out the naturally tough hooves horses were meant to have with a corrective trim.
