I am still really enjoying trimming our own feet. Well, our horses that is. It took me so long to have a go at it. In fact I avidly avoided it! Partly because I thought it would be 'hard' physically, but also because I wasn't confident to attempt it. Having a masters degree in Analysis Paralysis with honours in procrastination, I just didn't think I had the knowledge to do it, and thought I might do damage to my horses.
But there were things I could see weren't right with their feet, and bodies, even to my 'uneducated' eye. So I finally took the plunge and decided to get educated. Now I am obsessed! I pick up every foot on every unsuspecting horse I come across!
Their is still so much to learn. I am only on my second round of trimming our horses (there are a lot of feet in my paddock!), and already I can see changes! It is very satisfying to see frogs spreading and walls growing down.
I have Pete Ramey's Under The Horse Dvd series. http://www.hoofrehab.com/ It is 16 hours long, and most of it theory, and I am watching it through for the second time. Something to keep me entertained when I go to bed with my cup of tea at night...
