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

Two donkeys enjoy a hoof handling session

  • 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.

  • I don't trim pigs. I can be coaxed into trimming a goat or two, if you have equines for me to work on at the same location. I do not have specific training or much experience working with even-toed livestock. If you are looking for a specialized goat or pig trimmer, I am not your gal. I recommend asking your vet, feed store, or a local pig or goat rescue for recommendations.

  • Pricing varies with service location and the needs of your animal. Trims start at $60. Shoeing prices depend on the needs of your horse. Please contact me to inquire about pricing.

  • I am based near Albuquerque, New Mexico. My primary service area is the East Mountains: this includes Tijeras, Cedar Crest, Sandia Park, Edgewood, Stanley, and Moriarty. I have an occasional route along NM-14 including Santa Fe and Cerrillos. As of summer 2026, I am NOT taking on any new clients in the Rio Grande valley - this includes Albuquerque, Corrales, Los Ranchos, Bosque Farms, the South Valley, etc.
