We are so grateful to Renegades for their ongoing support and recognition of the best practical education for professionals in Natural Hoof Care in the world.🙏

Hoof protection is hoof protection. Technology advances in every sport, why do those in charge of equestrian disciplines not allow for changes to be made? Especially as it is for the welfare of the horse.

I’m very picky about the clients I take on and keep. Positivity and Joy is my love language.

Some days, our job as hoofcare providers is sunshine and rainbows. We arrive to barns with happy horses, kind owners, and a fulfilling sense of progress with the feet we see.

Some days, our job is draining, physically and emotionally. We see struggling horses, and frustrated owners desperate for an answer.

Some days, our job is mentally exhausting or frustrating. We have horses we want to help, but circumstances (turn out environment, diet, etc) don't allow us to see the progress we know we could.

How our day goes can be changed in an instant by the horse owner's words, attitude, and demeanor. I was talking about some cases recently with a hoofcare friend and she said something like "it's always nice to have those owners who just infuse joy into your day."

Whether that means listening to our suggestions about diet/treatment for hoof issues etc, or making sure your horse stands well to be worked on, we love working with owners who trust us and help us do our jobs wells.

Thank you to the amazing owners that "infuse joy" every time I see them, and remind me why I love this. You're part of what makes this job so rewarding.

I now require all heavy horses be platted up before their trim 🤪🤣😜

I agree with Dan whole heartedly.
