My own horse Stuie 🖤 6yr TB. Barefoot for 3 years. Where we began and how it's going now!

Balance is one of the most important principles in a barefoot trim because the horse’s entire body depends on the hoof loading and landing correctly. A balanced hoof helps distribute weight evenly, supports healthy movement, and reduces unnecessary strain on joints, tendons, and ligaments. Even small imbalances can affect the way a horse moves and can lead to distortion, discomfort, or long-term soundness issues over time.

When rehabbing a hoof, patience and small changes are essential. Trying to make major corrections in a single trim can create more stress and soreness, while gradual adjustments allow the hoof and limb to adapt naturally. Consistent trimming over time encourages healthier growth, improved function, and a stronger, more stable hoof from the inside out.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads-up that from 1st May, my barefoot trim price will be increasing slightly to $70 per horse.

With the continued rise in diesel prices, I’ve had to make the decision to adjust my rates, as I’m no longer able to cover these additional costs myself.

I’ve kept this increase as minimal as possible, and I’m very grateful for your ongoing support and understanding. It truly means a lot and allows me to continue providing consistent, quality care for your horses.

If you have any questions or would like to chat, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks so much,
Elise 💜
