Patience, Care, and Compassion
I am a natural hoofcare practioner located
in southern Wisconsin. I have studied the
Strasser method, Pete Ramey's methods, and
attended the AANHCP program for hoofcare
professionals. I have come to the conclusion
that not one of these methods will work on
all horses. The field of barefoot hoof care
is evolving very quickly. My aim as a
natural hoofcare practioner is to constantly
keep abreast of the new information, studies
and literature as it is unfolding. That
being said, my trimming technique tends to
follow the principles of the AANHCP and Pete
Ramey style versus the Strasser method.
I own 4 horses,
a 36 old Arabian mare, a 27 year old 3/4
Arabian gelding, a 12 year old Paso Fino
gelding and a 5 year old Arabian gelding.

I actively
compete in endurance riding. I am a member
of the AERC (American Endurance Ride
Conference), UMECRA (Upper Midwest Endurance
& Competitive Trail Association) and DRAW
(Distance Riding Association of Wisconsin).
I have an
special interest in helping clients to be
able to compete their horses barefoot.
