    Barefoot people - how many self-trim?

    I run a rasp round to keep everything at bay and also to take back the bit of hoof that doesn't get worn at the toes other wise the horse trips. I am in a bit of a predicament as every time I have a farrier/trimmer out to do anything the horse always ends up lame until she grows the foot...
