Hoof Care Services
The hoof plays a crucial role in the overall health of the body, as it serves as the foundation that supports the entire structure. Any imbalances or dysfunctions in the hoof can lead to compensatory issues throughout the body, affecting posture, gait, and the health of the joints and soft tissues.
This is why I offer integrative bodywork + hoofcare sessions.
As a hoof care provider and equine bodyworker, I strive to restore the health and balance of the body through synergistically combining barefoot trimming services with gentle, holistic bodywork techniques. My approach also considers a whole horse outlook, encompassing nutrition, saddle fit, exercise routine, and more.
Does your horse struggle with hoofcare?
If you said yes, you're not alone. Hoofcare is a common area of struggle for many horses.
Whether these challenges present as...
​​​​​​
+ Pulling or yanking the leg away
+ Biting or kicking out
+ Entering a state of dissociation or learned helplessness
+ Becoming fidgety or restless
+ Struggling to balance or leaning on the farrier
+ Refusing to pick up the leg
+ Ear pinning, tail swishing, or tensing the face and body
+ Any other way your horse might communicate "I'm having a hard time"
Integrative Bodywork + Hoofcare sessions support a safe, co-creative trimming experience—one that invites the horse to actively participate in their session and find comfort and healing.
Integrative Bodywork + Hoofcare Sessions
These equine-guided sessions allow for an integrative trimming experience. Your horse will receive bodywork as needed throughout their trim, supporting their comfort and balance, and allowing time to process.​
​
These sessions are for you if your horse struggles with standing for the farrier, needs frequent breaks, or has previous farrier trauma and requires a patient and positive approach.
​
This unique approach offers your horse the opportunity to fully attune to their trimming experience and integrate the changes made to their feet with the rest of their body, whilst co-creating each session to receive the support most aligned for them that day.
​
All hoofcare services must be scheduled within a maximum 5-week trim cycle.
