I’m not a typical farrier, so I may not be what you’re looking for. I don’t do any steel shoes. I am a Whole Horse Hoofcare Practitioner, certified by Ida Hammer.

I trim on a 4 week cycle. I address nutrition, environment, bodywork, dental work, exercise and relationship. I don’t “do” all of these things, but because they affect hoof health I do work as the horses advocate to help you and your horses have the best possible partnership.

I have 3 requirements for my clients:

1. You agree to a 4-week trim cycle.

2. You agree to provide your horses with sufficient copper/zinc for hoof health. I’ll provide recommendations to help you accomplish this.

3. You agree to keep an open mind and be willing to grow your awareness and knowledge base of what a healthy horse and hoof is.

A little more about me.

I’m an onion; I’ve got lots of layers.

My whole life I’ve been bouncing around the horse world looking for something that felt right. In high school, I worked for a Hanoverian importer and breeder. In College, I rode on the equestrian team and interned at an equine veterinary reproduction facility. I’ve worked at ranches in Colorado and been a working student for 3-day eventing trainers; hunter/jumper trainers; reining cow horse trainers; and combined event driving trainers. I’ve attended all sorts of clinics with all sorts of equine professionals, and I continue to learn from equine professionals and from the horses I trim.
