About

I took my horse barefoot in 2001 when shoes would no longer stay on him. I was also concerned about the concussion his arthritic shoulders were receiving via metal shoes

I didn’t plan to become a professional. People just liked what I did with my horse and asked me to do theirs. So I started to study more….

I have always been fascinated by the beauty and complexity of the hoof, constantly working to correct itself once we give it the chance

I have been trimming professionally since 2003. While I have chosen to remain independent, I have studied with as many “schools of thought” as I can and continue to find my own CPD, including receiving feedback and support from other trimmers

As an equine behaviourist I tend to specialise in horses who struggle to stand for hoof care and help to provide the patience and long-term behavioural shaping that they need
