Balanced Hoof Care
for Performance & Rehabilitation

Balanced hooves (whether trimmed or shod) can mean the difference between “acceptable” and EXCEPTIONAL for your horse!

Services and fees can be found here

Specializing in:

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.

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.
