Below are some examples of how hooves can change with regular trimming. To see more, please visit my Instagram account. Click on the pictures to see the original post.
22nd December 2016: Looking better and better … now the toe is in the right place the rest of the hoof can continue to grow down healthier #irishsportshorse #grey #mare #barefoot #transformation #barefoottrimmer #ilovemyjob #naturalhorsemanship#wildathoof #progress #hoof #horse #horses
9th December 2016: So much love for this horse! Seedy toe fixed and no longer removing her toes when being worked #chestnutmare #barefoot #trimmer #wildathoof #chestnut #transformation #hoof #proud #naturalhorsemanship #barefoottrimmer #horse #horses
25th November 2016: I love going out to trim this horse. He is truly inspirational. Labelled the horse that could never go barefoot he is stunning everyone and showing them he can. So much improvement in such a short amount of time! And now we have some healthy wall on the ground and some heel height I think he will really start to blossom! Looking forward to the next time! #thoroughbred #tb#grey #barefoot #transition #barefoottrimmer#naturalhorsemanship #noshoes #wildathoof#hoof #changes #positive #horse #horses#pony #frog #ilovemyjob #ilovehorses
24th November 2016: 5months of balanced trims = toes and breakover back + quarters out + frog widening = results 🙂 #bay #gelding #improvement #barefoot #trimmer #barefoottrimmer #wildathoof #cob #horse #pony #horses #naturalhorsemanship #ilovemyhorse #frog #hoof #foot #proud #ilovemyjob
21st November 2016: Feeling a bit down with all the rain … so cheering myself up by seeing what some of my clients have been up to recently … some of these have been transition photos … can you guess which? #pony #ponies #horse #horses #horseriding #jumping #crosscountry #eventing #hack #connemara #thoroughbred #sportshorse #coloured #grey #fun #transition #barefoot #trimmer #barefoottrimmer #wildathoof
4th November 2016: Because the journey there isn’t always easy … or quick … or finished! Most of the flare and cracks gone … Still some tweaks but very happy with improvements so far. #positive #changes #horse #horses #barefoot #trimmer #wildathoof #barefoottrimmer #naturalhorsemanship #eventer #hoof #transformation #blackhorse #proud
31st October 2016: Even ‘good’ feet can be improved upon. I seem to have spoken a lot lately about the importance of where the hoof breaks over in a stride. When toes are long this breakover is delayed and actually puts excessive force through the tendons. Also having long toes actually continue to pull them even more forward and in doing so pulls the sole forward thinning it. The quarters also pull in so that they are more vertical. So it’s not just about having ‘pretty round front feet’ it’s about bio mechanics and keeping your horse healthy inside! #young #cob #improvement #barefoot #trimmer #barefoottrimmer #wildathoof #coblet #horse #pony #horses #naturalhorsemanship #ilovemyhorse #frog #hoof
