Welcome to Natural Hoofcare.
This is more than just going without shoes on your horse. Natural Hoofcare, or “high performance barefootedness,” is the practice of helping our equine friends lead a natural and more healthy life. Natural Hoofcare is rapidly growing around the world and helping horses lead a healthier and more productive life free of lameness caused by shoeing. The best part is that it works for any horse no matter what breed or how it is used.
In the American West, Wild Mustangs still run free. These magnificent animals do not benefit from the latest science in equine care, and they have never felt iron on their feet, yet they can run freely through the mountains and deserts without tenderness or lameness. Their domesticated kindred have the same genetic ability. Without shoes, nature will enable these horses to grow healthier hooves and will help prevent many of the ailments which we are now recognizing as being caused by being shod.
My purpose is to help you and your equine partner in the transition and maintenance of a natural barefoot hoof. One that is sound for a lifetime including while being ridden.
