Julie's Natural Hoofcare - Barefoot Natural Trimming of Horses Hooves.
Calgary and surrounding areas. Sound, laminitic, foundered and navicular horses are provided with the latest treatments including casting, booting and padding, and trimming that naturally helps your horses feet return to the best health possible. Hooves can be restored to a natural shape that improves balance, stride and comfort for your horse.
I provide the latest barefoot trimming methods to allow your horse's hooves to return to the best possible health they can be. I carry a full stock of Easyboot Gloves, Epics and pads if needed to provide the safest transition from shod to barefoot health. I am also able to cast feet to provide transitional protection for horses with flat feet, thin soles or abscesses. Proper trimming can lengthen stride, prevent forging, increase circulation, restore natural shape and function of the foot, and improve the overall health of your horse. Foundered and laminitic horses will benefit from developing the internal structures of their feet while being made as comfortable as possible with padding and casting

I had a boarder use this service and the horse's feet was trimmed so short, that the sole was the only thing that the horse had for feet. Hoof wall on the top side was filed completly away to expose the white line. Stated to the customer that it was OK for the horse to be completly lame.

Well, then you are one of the lucky ones. I too know people who have used her and have had problems. She has quite a reputation in the Alberta horse world for destroying horses feet needlessly, then putting horse boots on. She clearly doesn't know what she is doing. Nothing wrong with keeping your horses barefoot, nothing at all. But her methods are barbaric. Use a reputable farrier now, instead of calling them later, after she's ruined your horse.
DeleteI have used Julie for 3 years. She is very good with trimming and handling horses. I have not heard she has a bad reputation. When did she trim your horses?
Deletei love julie shes reliable and she does a good job and has never had a problem with my one gelding who hated being trimming, he stands nicely for her and freaks if anyone else does them, shes corrected my old farriers mistakes. shes even given me a rasp so i dont have to use her as often cause my boys never need to be done at the same time, so this way every week i rasp my horses feet, and not the others.
ReplyDeleteThe local farriers love her. She gives them lots of work fixing her mistakes!
ReplyDeleteJulie knows her stuff as far as barefoot trimming goes - whether you are transitioning your horse from shoes - sometimes horses can get a little tender in the transition stage, but that's expected and that's where hoof boots are utilized. General upkeep - she is great. Reliable and patient - there when you need her. Used her for my laminitis prone for the past 5 years - no issues and a much healthier/happier mount.
