About this user

First off if you would like personalized help in learning to trim your horse, as well as get evaluations and markups to help you, please join my yahoo group at http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/thehappyhoof/

Born in Montana and raised in Wyoming on the Red Desert. I am one of the few people living today, who's had the opportunity to run wild horses when it was still legal....NOT (sorry BLM, the statute of limitations has run out.)

I've done a lot of things and lived a lot of places, met Lot's of different kinds of people. But the one constant in my life has been horses. I've changed a lot of my ideas over the years on how to work with them. And now I'm especially interested in their feet.

In 1998 my husband and I managed a horse ranch up in Kalispell Montana, where I first heard about doing a natural balanced trim after the pattern of the way wild horses wear their feet. I only had to hear the concept once, and immediately knew it was right on.

I'm now going out to help others get their horses feet straightened out. The videos you'll see on this site are going to be all the horses I run into and their hoof problems. And hopefully you'll see them transition to having healthy HAPPY hooves.

Interests

Was raised on and then worked on a lot of fair sized cattle ranches. Love working cattle and making a good cow horse. Though now that we live in Kansas, and don't work on a ranch any more, that's kind of in the past. Therefore my new love is hooves and the horses who need my help.My other interest is the Bible and HIS-Story. But I'm a christian that dose not go to church, but I love the Word of God and the truth and Jesus Christ.
