I've owned and managed barefoot horses for over 15 years. It's been a long journey from when I started to this point in time, but a thoroughly rewarding one.
It wasn't until I got Grace that I decided to turn professional. As one vet pointed out, just doing my own I could help one or two, by offering the service to others I have the opportunity to help many more.
But trimming my own when I can review and touch up every day if I want to and have full control over their welfare and management is very different to trimming a horse every four weeks or so.
So I decided to get some professional training and after a long hard look at what was available I chose the AANHCP route. Apart from the extensive training available, plus CPD I liked the fact that there is such depth and breadth of experience in the organisation. And it is global. So whatever issues I, or the horses I serve might face, someone, somewhere will have been through it before.
I am still studying and I think I will be until I retire. Always a student of the horse and their hooves; not trying to master nature, but learning how to facilitate the natural hoof in all its glory.
