My hoof trimming practice began in 2008, when I learned to trim my own  horses as I was unsatisfied with the "pasture trim" they were receiving at the time. I follow a "mustang" model, trimming the hoof based on the landmarks in the sole, seeking to achieve a heel-first landing and to situate breakover in the most mechanically advantageous position. 

As a member of the Equine Lameness Prevention Organisation, I am kept up to date on the latest research and developments in natural hoof trimming, and I try to keep learning all the time!

My family includes four backyard horses of varying ages and sizes, all of whom have taught me far more than I have ever taught them.

Spring is not far off (believe it or not)! Toes will be growing, and seasonal changes occurring in the laminae of the hoof. Make sure your horse starts spring with short toes to ensure that the inner structures of the foot are protected!
