For those of you who are interested, I have posted a link with
a Barefoot trimming method based on Dr.Hiltrud Strassers method.
Anyone can learn to do this trim, I have degenerative arthritis and a
questionable back and I can effectivly trim my 3 big brutes. This trim
should be maintained by frequent trimming. I do my guys once to three
times a week depending on the individual. Once the basic trim is
established it takes only minutes to do the maintainence trims.
Please note that this trim is for sound horses. If your horse has
problems like founder, laminitis and navicular, please refer to the
"Treating founder without horseshoes" link.
