barefoot trimmers

[Identityincrisis]

Hi all

Does anyone have a contact for a barefoot trimmer or even better a farrier who believes in a holistic approach to barefoot? I have had my TB barefoot on and off for at least 3 yrs and completely for 18 months. I am managing it pretty well but my only stumbling block is the trimming, my very competent, very experienced farrier lames my horse each time i have asked him each time not to trim him too short but each time he does pease can someone recommend a name?? Help!!!

Where are you based? First part of postcode would help a lot. You can also get a list from www.trelawneequine.co.uk/

Steve Leigh - based in North Northumberland but in my opinion the best. Very knowledgable and helpful. And travels quite a way to do my cob. He's got a website but if you cant find his number PM me.

Lesley ^^^ She is amazing, she isn't based in Durham but she does travel. She arranges visits well in advance and is always on time as well as being fantastic in general!

Steve Leigh does one on my yard OP, we're just beside the A19/A690 junction so not far from you at all. I'm not barefoot but the owner that uses him swears by him.
