Hoof
Care
Specialist. Natural
hoof care practitioner serving all breeds and disciplines in south-east
Michigan since 1998. Our clientele is strictly barefoot and focused on
providing customers and their horses with the most up-to-date and
knowledgeable hoof care available. We successfully work with
challenging cases, including: founder, chronic laminitis, club feet,
Navicular syndrome and Navicular Disease, chronic thrush, fungal
infections, arthritic horses, contracted heels, white line disease,
seedy toe, and chronic quarter cracks. I
believe
in pain-free transitioning from shoes to bare hoof care - your horse
does not need to be uncomfortable in order to go barefoot! I offer
consultations, customized boot and pad fitting, transitioning,
rehabilitation, and hoof care maintenance. We don't just treat the
hooves, we look at the entire horse, its environment, and nutritional

has been trimming her foundered mare since August of '99. The mare penetrated both front soles with her coffin bones and Sue was advised the only thing left to do was to euthanize her. Sue has successfully treated her and the mare has completely resolved rotation in her rear feet (Nov. '00 X-rays) and is de-rotating in her fronts. Sue is available for moral support as well as hands-on help getting started with the barefoot trim and natural lifestyle. |

I
got started with natural hoofcare many years ago on my own horses.
Finding Jamie Jackson was a major breakthrough in my education to
caring for my horses' feet. After years of trial and error I decided to
give back to the horse
and teach others how to trim their own horses.
I conduct monthly trimming workshops as well as one-on-one trimming instructions. My goals are to teach others about a more natural lifestyle and a natural trim. As with everything we do with our horses, support and information is a big part of how successful we will be. Horse owners can and do trim their own horses. I also teach natural horsemanship-starting colts and teaching people to get handy with their horses. This includes handling of their feet. The combination of natural trimming and horsemanship makes for a great outcome. Debbie Dutra Truckee CA 530.582.0343 www.naturalhoofcare.com or email me at: dutraddranch@earthlink.net |

with
performance horses and horses who have major hoof
pathologies. My
approach emphasizes a comfortable transition period that
maintains and
increases a horses soundness and rideability from day one.
In addition
to top quality trimming I am well equipped to help owners properly
address dietary problems that are affecting hoof quality
and carry a
full stock of hoof boots for horses needing extra protection and
support during the transition period between shoes and barefoot.

I have not been on the wild horse trim course yet, but I understand the principles because I have had a lot of experience beginning with another model trim and have decided that it is not helpful to my horse. I now speak for the wild horse model. I would be glad to share my experience with people who particularly have flat-footed horses and have tried other trims which have not given the results they want. My horse is very grateful. |
