Testimonials

"He literally went from a young trotting Tennesse Walker to a nice stepping pace. Incredible! I am anxious to work with him now to bring it into a nice 4 beat gait."

"Highly recommend Rebecca! Excellent barefoot trimmer and horsewoman. Both are a must for a successful experience for your horse, mule or donkey."

"You won't find a better or kinder farrier anywhere! Rebecca sees the individual whole horse, and customizes the trim based on what best serves the horse."

"Rebecca is an artisan with the horse's hoof...she sees balance, symmetry, and looks at the whole horse in movement."

The most EFFECTIVE method of healing and maintaining healthy hooves involves working with, balancing, and influencing the equine body (skeleton, joints, musculature) and the future growth of the hooves. New growth follows old growth... Think about flares, chronic laminitis, physical injury as it relates to hoof growth... Hoof shape, environmental diversity, diet, and movement all influence hoof growth and function. Balanced hooves not only help balance a horse's body, but absorb shock, dissipate concussion, provide traction, and circulate blood -- all important factors for healthy growth.

Problems in the body often manifest as issues with the hooves (and vice-versa). Hooves that are balanced for the horse's unique conformation, along with appropriate veterinary guidance and equine bodywork, can prevent -- and often correct -- these issues.

See Case Studies: Founder, laminitis, balance, navicular, neglect, and more

Founder, laminitis, navicular, "mystery" lameness, and other pathological cases are welcome.

Current x-rays (lateral and DP views) are recommended in these cases, ideally at the time of my visit in order to collaborate with your veterinarian.
