Hollistic Horse Care - it all starts from the ground up!  

Whether you ride for pleasure, compete in equestrian sports, drive your ponies, or just admire their beauty, your love of horses makes you want to see them happy and healthy.  The well being of a sound horse begins wth good hoofcare.  There is no doubt that a horse with good feet will have a longer, happier life and will be more sound. 

Go back to basics - start at the gound and work your way up when caring for a horse.  At Better Be Barefoot, we will help you build a solid foundation for good horsekeeping.  Let us be your resource!

I do what I do because I love horses - plain and simple! I will take the time it takes to do the job well.   It is important to me that your horse is healthy, sound, balanced, and well  - inside and out!

SPECIAL PROGRAM:

NEWLY CERTIFIED BY HEALTHY STRIDE....

Healthy Stride represents a commitment to Healthy Horses.  If your horses have not been barefoot before, I can help you make the transition in a smooth and helpful way.   While I am personally committed to having my horses live outdoors, I have mastered new ways to help people who have horses with varying degrees of turn out.   We have many tools at our disposal.  

If your horse currently has shoes, your first visit will be a consultation and the pulling of the shoes.  I do not trim on the first visit.  It is necessary for the horse to feel his feet and for him to experience some untethered growth to start.  Then we can trim.  It may take several trims to really see the full effect - but you will see your horse happy to move and willing to play - it is a lovely sight!  To learn more, call or contact me to discuss your horse and his lifestyle. You will be amazed at the benefits of a barefoot trim - it is the key to fluid movement!

Don't wait to call - the road to a happier, healthier horse can start with just one call.
