From Hoof to Whole Animal
Our mission is to promote lifelong soundness and natural movement through precision barefoot trimming grounded in equine, pig, and goat anatomy and biomechanics in South-Central Indiana. We are committed to restoring and maintaining the natural strength, balance, and function of every foot by prioritizing the long-term health, comfort, and performance of each animal. Our work is guided by respect for the animal’s physiology, evidence-based practice, and a holistic understanding of overall well-being!
A passion for healthy livestock
Our comprehensive suite of barefoot farrier services caters to the whole health of the animals we serve – not just their feet.
Routine Hoof Trim and Balance
Regular maintenance trim focusing on restoring and preserving correct hoof angles, balance, breakover, and removal of excess horn.
Corrective Trimming & Rehabilitation
More in-depth trimming when the hoof is distorted (contracted heels, flares, long toe, underrun heels), possibly combined with therapeutic practices.
Transition Management
Support for animals moving from shoes to barefoot – may include interim trimming schedules, monitoring, adjustments, use of boots or pads.
Neglected/Rescue Cases
Dealing with hooves neglected over long periods, hoof pathologies, chronic lameness, or owners unable to maintain regular care.
Hoof Boot Fitting & Adjustments
Fitting hoof boots for protection during the transitional phase or for terrain, adjusting boots to work with trimmed hooves.
Supplemental Therapies
May include treatments for thrush, sole packing, frog work, or addressing soft tissue imbalances in coordination with vets.
