Barefoot Trimming Ontario

It is pretty tough in our neck of the woods to find a barefoot trimmer because there are so few and all spread out over a large province. So I was excited to find Lauren a young lady who is eager to help our horses stay barefoot. She is willing to travel so don't hesitate to ask just in case she can get to you!

Check out her website at Go Barefoot Natural Hoof Care where you can read up about her services.

"Go Bare NHC bases our model on the wild horse trim. I feel this is the most correct, safest way to trim a horse barefoot. At no point, will I carve into live sole to achieve a certain "look". I believe in reading the hoof, determining what the hoof/horse itself wants, and trimming accordingly. Whether you ride for fun, or perform in the highest level or competition, my ultimate goal is to help create a sound, healthy, happy equine partner for you." Lauren Gallant

P.S. If you know of other barefoot trimmers to tell us about, please share them here too!
