Barefoot Trimmer Needed and Advice in Barnet

[LucyGeord]

Looking for overall advice for caring for barefoot horses. My mate has been barefoot for a year now and doing well. I have not had a farrier the whole time as I have had really bad experiences and she has maintaining them herself and she had little TB feet.


I’m looking for a barefoot trimmer in that covers the Barnet area desperately


Also any tips re:

Cracked hooves
Recommended hoof boots for riding and field.
How to fit the boots ?

Thanks !!

I'm not sure if he covers Barnet but Mark Gent used to cover a large area of the South East.

Lucy Priory might also be worth a try although never used her.

This might help https://www.barefoothorse.info/find-barefoot-trimmer/

For hoof boot advice and fitting, try Urban Horse, Hoof Bootique or The Hoof Boot Shop. Urban Horse have helped fit both of my sets by measurements, fit kits & photo's.

Thanks for your help

Hello, sorry to jump on this, wondered whether used Mark Gent? He’s been recommended to me, I’ve not had much luck finding a reputable barefoot trimmer in my area with availability

I used to use Mark Gent - he's good. Reliable, nice guy, good trimmer and was v.patient & empathetic with my then tricky to trim horse. I only stopped using him as we moved further out and it was tricky to coordinate visits with his other clients in the area.
