I grew up in Connecticut and moved to Colorado in 1998 where I actively became involved with horses again. I ride A LOT in the Rocky Mountains with my barefoot horse. I have always believed in Less is better, Keep it simple, and Close to nature as possible. As metal shoes is what people did, I followed along tradition until I saw large man riding a horse 15 miles over rocky trails in Colorado WITHOUT shoes or boots AND, the horse wasn’t lame after the ride. I had to know more. That path lead me to AANHCP and becoming a Certified Natural Hoof Care Practitioner.
