  • Everything for the hoof obsessed!!

    My mare was diagnosed with navicular syndrome about 4 years ago, I immediately started researching on keeping her comfortable, barefoot and yes rideable! This podcast was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! I’ve listened to almost every episode!! Thanks to the advice here Lady , now 23, is walking tall, hitting the trails , and wearing her boots with pride! Major diet and supplement changes that I learned here made it all possible!

    THANK YOU!!!!

  • Absolutely love learning about the whole horse, starting at the foot. There is not a farrier way out where I live so I've had to take over full hoof care of my horses. This podcast has inspired and educated me. Thank you Alicia!
