Excellent Care & Helpful Information
We have been working with Pat Wagner since June 2006. Pat is prompt and professional during our appointments. She is always ready to provide information and answer our many questions. We appreciate the kind and patient way that she works with our horses, especially our young filly.

Since we have started working with Pat she has taken an interest in our "special needs case". "Taz" had a broken leg as a filly which never received veterinary attention. She is making good progress under Pat's care and in sandy footing can get out and run like a normal horse.

All of our five horses have shown improvement in soundness and hoof quality with natural trimming. We would recommend Pat and natural hoof care to any horse owner who wants to do what is truly best for their horse.

Correct, Regular Trims Are the Key
When the shoes come off, we will trim your horse’s hooves to begin the healing and rehabilitation process. Our trims emulate the hoof-shaping forces of a natural habitat to reshape the hoof wall and allow the soles and frogs of your horse’s feet to toughen, and to let bones and tendons return to their proper, naturally balanced position in the hoof capsule. Your horse’s entire demeanor will likely improve and he’ll give you a better ride than you’ve ever experienced.

After the initial trim, follow-up trims continue the rehabilitation process. You’ll have the confidence and peace of mind of knowing we use techniques we’ve learned through years of study with the foremost practitioners of natural hoof care, such as Pete Ramey and Jaime Jackson. We’ve seen these techniques work wonders on literally hundreds of horses just like yours, and on our own horses, too.
