Yeeeeahh this s**t isn’t gonna fly around here.
Yuck! How’s this flog!?! 🤢

I’ve showed up to jobs before where I’ve told them my price, and asked if they’re overdue, ‘oh she’s a little overdue, only a few weeks’, and proceed to be presented with a pony who doesn’t look like she’s seen a trimmer since Covid…. You all remember that, right?
But I chip away for an hour on the crippled pony who’s been walking around like a jester for god knows how long, oh and her knees are on backwards, knowing I’m only getting $70 for this because I opened my stupid mouth while the owner yaps away at me about their champion show jumping career years ago while I know they’re not likely to get this pony trimmed again for another decade.
So yeah, I mention a price that I may charge up to, but here is my standard price and we’ll just have to go from there.
These kind’s of people scream “bargain hunter” and the care for their horse is absolutely not the priority.
So no thanks, I don’t want your, albeit I’m sure most pleasant work. Thanks so much for the consideration though 🙄

Hey team!
I’m gonna be trialling integrating this new app by Mustad Australia into our program. I will need phone numbers though so if I normally contact you on Facebook messenger, if you could please send me your best contact number and I’ll add you to the list.

If you’s wouldn’t mind helping me out and giving it a download and we can see how we go making our bookings via this handy setup moving forward.

Please send me any comments or feedback you have from your experience! 😄

Spent last week away at the Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy where I completed my training under the top barefoot trimming educators in the country, however this visit was spent with a handpiece in hand rather than a rasp 🐑🐏
Every year I trudge through the wool of Nicky and Andrew Bowe’s delightful sheep 🤪
Huge help when Bowe started dragging out for me and proving his sheepmanship unagi skills! 🔮✨
Always a good catch up with everyone at Mayfield 😊
Back on with horses and hooves this week!

I’m putting feelers out there for more horses to trim.
I got into this business near the end of an abusive relationship and this took a massive toll on me. My mental health was definitely at my personal all time low and my whole life took a hit.

I messed up a lot with several solid clients because I was inconsistent and unreliable. It affected so much of my life, not just as a professional. I have received so much invaluable help from friends and through therapy.

Recently I’ve been incorporating some seriously helpful strategies into my day to day life and the improvement is immense. I’ve been on fire and super proud of that!

So I’m reaching out with a new found confidence to offer my services to some new or even old clients needing a good trimmer 😏
Please feel free to reach out.

I’m back, baby! 💪🏼

Look at our very own Mr Bowe getting into the world of social media! I just know he is loving the opportunity to create this content for us 😝🤪
In this video, Bowe is showing an Easyshoe called the Versa Grip Gold which is up there in my top 3 favourite products from Easycare Downunder 💪🏼

1.5 years on a 3 week trim cycle. Growing in a properly aligned fully alive hoof capsule.

No top dressing.
Nothing added to the diet.
No environmental changes.

David Landreville is blowing my mind. Although I’m still skeptical on some things; I do believe diet is extremely important when treating a horse as a whole living the now traditional lifestyle in captivity.

On top of simulating natural wear on the hooves, we need to be monitoring essential gut, hormone, respiratory, joint, cardiovascular and even mental health, too. I believe we need to ensure they’re getting as close to what they’re designed to digest or in fact, what they’re now best acclimatised and adapted for. They need to be getting as close to adequate movement as we can simulate, adequate stimulation for all parts of the brain and mind, the list goes on. All aspects combine depict the absolute overall well being of each horse.

I would really like to hear from everyone who would be interested in more frequent trims for their horses. I genuinely believe that the happier the hooves make for a big part of a happier horse.

As you know, I trim most client’s horses on a 6 week basis however, 4-6 weeks is much better in my professional opinion as a regular trim cycle for your ‘average’ horse who is simply living in the paddock not doing much of anything and has pretty damn ‘good’ hooves.

For horses with some chronic imbalance issues, thrush or seedy toe recurrence and those horses who struggle post trim with some tenderness or soreness for a number of reasons, would do substantially better with more frequent trimming; anywhere between the 1 and 3 week mark. This will prove to actually gain some traction towards ‘fixing’ the deep rooted and lingering concerns I’m seeing.

This is ideally the basis I plan on working towards as my suggested trim cycles with my cliental in the near future 💪🏼

I am the very excited new subscriber to the David Landreville- On the Vertical video and case study library!
On top of my gold class and exceptionally high level training with Nicky and Andrew Bowe from The Barefoot Blacksmith, I have been following David’s work on the usual social platforms for many years now and I’m so drawn to his work. I have integrated much of my understanding from his teaching into my trimming already and with a recent new laminitis case that has me concerned, I finally bit the bullet and purchased the subscription to the much deeper and very informative wealth of knowledge that David shares on his website!

Those that are ready to listen will hear 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
