Services

Optimum equine health starts with the hoof.

Holistic Barefoot Hoofcare Services are designed to create and maintain optimal hoofcare health through the following:

• Owner Consultations on natural hoofcare, lifestyle, breed appropriate terrain and how to condition the hooves for the desired riding terrain. Consultation can be done over the phone or in person. The first consultation is free.

• Regular Trimming at weekly or monthly intervals, depending on the level of damage in the hoof. If the hooves are foundered, for example, more frequent, even weekly trimming, may be necessary in the beginning.

• First trim with shoe removal $75
• First trim without shoe removal and follow-up trims $50
• There is $0.40 per mile charge for travel 45 miles outside of the greater Portland/Vancouver area.

• Group Information Evenings for horse owners and clubs. A power point presentation and group discussion will educate participants on basic anatomy, physiology and histology of the equine hoof. Case studies will be presented demonstrating the successful transition to holistic barefoot hoofcare. Prices will vary depending on group size and location.
