I have been riding and spending time around horses for as long as I can remember, and in 2019 I discovered that I have a passion for hoof care and began an apprenticeship to learn barefoot trimming. I started attending as many educational clinics as possible, and riding along with a few different hoof care professionals whose work I admired, which then led me to join PHCP and enter the certification program, and in summer 2020 I started my own hoof care practice.
My trimming is individualized for each horse (and each hoof), and I take a whole horse approach – looking at each horse’s diet, environment, movement, and “job” to inform my trim and look for ways to improve hoof health and quality. I keep horses on a regular trimming schedule of 4-5 weeks. I am happy to work with your veterinarian on rehab and pathology cases (I have also been an equine veterinary assistant for 4 years), and welcome clients looking to transition their horse(s) from shod to barefoot. I welcome all equines, including minis, ponies, drafts, mules and donkeys.
I am not accepting new clients at this time, as I will be moving to Vermont in June (2024) and re-establishing my hoof care practice there. Once I’m settled and ready to accept clients in Vermont, I will update my information here.
