Thousands of horse owners are choosing to remove their horses' shoes in the last two decades since a few farriers began the barefoot movement.  This different approach was initiated during studies of wild horses in their natural environment, as well as the effects of metal shoes on the horse. 

 

Natural hoof care involves far more than just the style of trim. Nutrition and living conditions that simulate the wild horses' habitat as closely as possible is of equal importance in order to bring every horse to their optimal health. The Natural Barefoot Trim simply encourages the hoof to grow with the correct balance. Regardless of the sport or job you do with your horse, this program will ensure them a long and resilient career. Barefoot horses can jump, barrel race, cut cows and do dressage at least as well as shod, if not better!
