Develop a deeper partnership with your horse!

"There is a way to train a horse where when you get done, you've got the horse. On his own ground. A good horse will figure things out on his own. You can see what's in his heart."

-- Cormac McCarthy

I am a dedicated student of the horse, available to help you
put together the pieces of the "natural horsemanship" puzzle.
Come learn true horsemanship through feel! 
Training, lessons, and colt starting.

Natural Hoof Care

Pacific Hoof Care Practitioners
Member, Mentor & Clinician

Barefoot trimming based on the ground-breaking work of
Dr. Robert Bowker and Pete Ramey.

THREE RESEARCH BASED FACTS THAT SHOULD
SPIN YOUR BRAIN ABOUT HOOF CARE:

1. The SOLE -- not the wall -- is designed to be the primary load bearing surface on the bottom of the hoof.

2. Blood flow in the healthy hoof acts as a highly
effective shock absorber.

3. The instant a shoe is nailed to the hoof wall,
perfusion (blood flow through the vast network
of tiny blood vessels in the hoof) is reduced by 50%.


I currently have a waiting list for new clients in Imperial Beach, Poway and Lakeside.  Please call 619-865-9614 or email maria@thoughtfulhorseman.com
