Our hoof care practice is called “Enlightened Equine Hoof Care,” and currently consists of myself and my wife Dora. Our “hands-on” practice is primarily in Ohio and New Mexico (USA), but we offer consultations to people all over the world.
I am a Master Hoof Care Professional certified through Liberated Horsemanship, and a Certified Practitioner certified through the Association for the Advancement of Natural Horse Care Practices (AANHCP). All of our trimming is conducted strictly in accordance with Liberated Horsemanship and AANHCP philosophies and practices. We will be happy to assist you and your horse in making the transition to proper natural hoof care, but we do not, under any circumstances, shoe horses.
I am also a Certified Booting Specialist through both of the organizations mentioned above, and will provide assistance with fitting boots of any brand or style. We believe no single brand of boot is best for every horse under every circumstance, and recommend only that the best boot for your particular situation begins with the boot that fits your horse the best.
My Austrian-born-and-educated wife and business partner Dora is an integral part of our trimming practice. She is also a Certified Hoof Care Professional through Liberated Horsemanship, and, at the moment, is the only Straightness Training instructor residing in the United States.
You can read more about both Dora and me on our Enlightened Equine Workshops site here.
Our current price schedules are as follows –
Like any other relationship, a successful trimming experience and trimmer/horse/client relationship depends on a number of factors. Over the years, we have found that it’s useful to make potential clients aware of our expectations for them and their horses; therefore, before contacting us for trimming, please familiarize yourself with our general policies/practices as outlined in my post entitled The Good Client.
