Barefoot - "As Nature Intended"

Harmony Natural Horse Care is based upon the principals of working with nature to facilitate equine health and healing through natural methods. My primary focus is on natural hoof care and or “Barefoot Trimming”. I have studied and applied the natural trimming applications researched by Jaime Jackson, Pete Ramey, Dr. Robert Bowker, KC LaPierre and Dr. Hilstrud Strasser.  Their research has proven that taking the shoes off of the horse and giving the hooves time and the proper trim, as well as a balanced equine diet with lots of free choice forage, will actually improve and abate such debilitating conditions as navicular, laminitis and founder. Even horses that show only signs of an unhealthy hoof, such as cracks splits and flares improve after the initial set up trim.

I also take a great interest in natural boarding, with an emphasis on 24/7 turn out, quality forages and supplements, and creating the type of herd life that facilitates their wild cousins.   Windy Hill Farm has been a work in progress for several years and we are excited to be able to share our farm and its transformations with you.  Check back once in a while to see the happening of Paddock Paradise and Case Studies.

Thank you for visiting my site and hope you found enough information to study on your own and to make an informative decision on going barefoot.
