No, I haven't practiced on a cadaver yet- with a farrier for a husband, I've never felt the need <g> I do realize about the constant work needing to be done....
The heals are WAY to high for a natural trim. You can take the part where the wall and bars come together down to just before you get to live sole. The bars...
I'm emailing you private. But I wanted to ask others also: How much do you usually change the angles on the first trim? Trying to get a 30 degree the first...

Denise, How great you're going barefoot! Your horses will thank you! It's hard to get started, especially when "friends" are telling you you're crazy. I...
Well, I might think it's great--and hubby has been wanting to do something about his undeveloped gelding's feet for a long time but didn't know about ...
Hello everyone, I would like to ask for your opinions regarding Easy boots and the back strip which goes around the heel bulbs. When I measured my horses...
Lenx, Remember you can micro-adjust the tightness by the way you string the cables on the tightening attachment and by the slot you put the cable in on the...
I would cut the width of the strip down so it's not marking the bulb. A razor will do the trick. This is common on low heeled (what we want) horses. Easy boot...
Hello Denise, When I pull a horses shoes, I don't do much at all, in fact many times, I pull the shoes and let them run around for a day or two or a week even...
These boots are now available for sale! They are the boots I tested on a few endurance races (100-mile and two 50-milers). They are basically like the Epics,...
Terry do you have pics? I tried one Epic, and, similar to other barefooters I imagine, the boots--the whole boot--is too "tall" for a barefoot horse. I was...
yes, I think that was the person. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

Thank you all for your comments. I will try to loose the cable a little, even though I closed it in accordance to how easy it felt to close it. Well, I have to...

We took five of my guys today to our weekly 'roading' -- where we take out our foxhounds to work with staff and huntsman on obedience and conditioning during...
What about your horse's teeth? Have they been checked? If a horse has teeth that need floating, they can choke on anything they eat because they aren't...
yes, he has had his teeth done. Turns out, he is a lot older than I thought, possibly 26. He was fine today with the soaked grain. Sarah [Non-text portions...

Shredded beet pulp should NOT be fed dry, but it is not necessary to soak it. It works fine to POUR AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF WATER OVER IT AT THE TIME OF SERVING,...
Hi everyone, I just joined the group but my horses have been barefoot for 2 yrs now. I recently moved to a new area and my barefoot man can't come see me any...
Even if the idiot did trim way too short shoes are not going to help. Boots or simply softening the ground will help. (I am rehabbing a founder case and I soak...
