Respectful, science-driven hoofcare for all equines

Services I offer

  • The bottom of a hoof with a fresh barefoot trim

    Barefoot trimming

    A correct trim allows the horse’s natural biomechanics to function and promotes the development of a healthy, robust hoof.

  • A horse's left front hoof viewed from the bottom. A shoe has been nailed to the foot with 6 copper nails.

    Shoeing

    For additional protection, traction, and/or support. Shoes are selected, shaped, and applied to suit your horse’s individual needs. I offer a variety of products, from traditional steel shoes to glue-on composite shoes.

  • A trainer with a young foal working on handling skills

    Hoof handling practice sessions

    Relationship-based horsemanship techniques build your animal’s confidence around having their feet handled. I also share exercises and activities so you can continue the work in between sessions.

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes! I enjoy providing hoof care for all kinds of equines and I absolutely adore donkeys. If you have a mini, donkey, mule, or draft horse, please contact me to discuss their hoofcare needs.

  • Pricing varies with service location and the needs of your animal. Trims start at $55 and may incur an additional mileage charge if further than a 1-hour drive from Albuquerque. Please contact me to inquire about pricing.
