Services:
Hoof Trimming: I schedule routine appointments Monday-Thursday from 8-1 and on occasional Saturdays. I am available in case of EMERGENCY in the evenings and on weekends. This availability can fluctuate depending on my child care. I travel within 50 miles of Poultney, VT. If you are outside of that range, I may know someone else who can help you! Contact me for pricing.
I am also available for giving presentations on Natural Hoof Care to groups such as 4-H and Pony Clubs, Trail Rider Associations or just groups of eager-to-learn horse owners. Please contact me for rates and see my events page for upcoming talks you might be interested in!
I accept payment by cash, personal check or credit card! - Payment is due at the time of service for first-time clients. I will bill you after the first trim, if necessary, and then the payment is due within 10 days of service.
Thrush Remedies: (I carry some of these for sale)
Red Horse Products - Artimud or Field Paste
Pure Sole Hoof Mud - All organic and made in the USA
Apple Cider Vinegar: 1/2 and 1/2 either shallow soaks or in a spray bottle applied once weekly as a preventative measure. Most of us already have this on hand!
"Pete's Goo" - can be made yourself! equal parts clotrimizol, triple antibiotic ointment +pain relief and diaper rash ointment
Cow Mastitis medication - Tomorrow, Today or Albadry are some of the names this goes by (works very well for deep sulcus infections) Can be ordered or found at most farm supply stores in the bovine section.
Hoof Powder - Ideal for wet environments and for use with hoof boots
*Note - I avoid any products that contain formadahyde or that are potentially causitic! Thrush infections can be very painful to your horse so you don't want to use anything on a potential wound that would hurt or that will kill good tissue along with the bad.
Hoof Armor - "A tough, durable and protective, yet flexible abrasive resistant adhesive coating used to protect the bottom of a horse’s hoof from excessive wear and chipping." I will apply this at your regular trim visits for you or you can buy it and apply it yourself in between trims!
Here are the booting/glue on options I offer from Easycare and Scoot Boot.
(There is always a possibility that I have the boots you are looking for used as well for a discounted price. I cannot guarantee the availability of used products but I do accept boots in good shape for trade-in value!)
