My horses have always been barefoot,
but not always sound. The solution I found was through a relatively
new movement that incorporates a wild horse model trim with proper
nutrition and environment to keep horses sound and balanced. With
the help of two professional and talented barefoot trim practitioners,
Mark Jeldness and Roger Budden, I've developed my skills to be the
primary trimmer for my horses and a few clients who have gratiously
allowed me to build my skills while helping their horses feet. I'm
now expanding my education in this field through various training
programs and I am ready to take new clients who are anxious to keep
their horses feet healthy and functional in a natural barefoot state.
Give me a call to learn about my services and setup an appointment.
Prices: $45
once a month trim. Horses feet can reshape and stay balanced with
a consistent once-a-month program. I serve Amador, Calavaras and El
Dorado counties.
