About Me
I started practicing back in 2002 and, unlike many people who first got involved in the barefoot world, my horse did not have any pathological or other hoof issues. The problem I had were issues with providers who gave a service, or lack there of, when it came time to take care of my horses feet. I had major problems with one provider and that led me to investigate a different way. I came across the website of a woman named Marjorie Smith and that is all it took. I read her site forward and backwards many times and everything she explained on her site made perfect sense, so I started down the road that changed the way I see horses all together. I discovered other people like Pete Ramey, Jamie Jackson, Ida Hammer, Danny Taylor, Eddie Drabak, ELPO and Linda Cowles among others, bought many a book, attended many clinics by many of the above mentioned clinicians, dissected many a hoof, which I continue to do, and learned, learned, learned. Curiosity got the best of a few and as I demonstrated to others about what I had been accomplishing with my gelding, they, in-turn, allowed me to trim their horses and to this day I continue to attend clinics (most recently a Pete Ramey clinic in February of 2015) when ever possible and learn every time I get under a horse as this learning experience never ends. I never expected the outcome to become a career, but I am happy it did as I love helping educate owners and helping their horses, especially the horse's with specific pathological issues, as it just elates me when I see them walk away sound and happy.
As far as what I do with my barefoot horses, I enjoy the sport of endurance, which is long distance riding on horseback in lieu of 25, 50, 75 or 100 miles. I prefer the longer distances of 75 to 100 miles and yes, we do those in one day, with boots of course. I am also an avid artist and, if you like, can view some of my work at this site.
