Hoof Gallery: Healthy Hooves

Trimming Examples from The Horse's Hoof

All hooves in these photographs are long-time trims (trimmed monthly for 5 or more years) by James Welz, photographed in summer 2007. Photos by James Welz. ©2007-2014 by The Horse's Hoof.

All hooves in the photos below are front hooves. All horses are sound and ridden, and without any hoof or health issues.

Note: In the Gallery, we present a few photo examples of barefoot-trimmed horses. All photos are owned and copyrighted by The Horse's Hoof, and taken of our personal client' horses. As such, they do not represent all "barefoot" trimming, but rather the safe, sensible, non-invasive, effective trimming system that we personally have spent over a decade developing. If you like what you see, please visit Hoof Help Online for more details. If you don't understand or don't like what you see, that is unfortunate, because our record and results are phenomenal. You might want to rethink what you believe or what you've been told. This simply works. In fact, our hooves kick butt. And James and Yvonne ride their own horses - and their hooves are always sound.
