The Hoof Jack is worth every penny...I am now doing
my own trimming; my horses all barefoot and using boots...have seen very good
changes in their feet over past 9 months...
Yes, it is hard work but easy to touch up every
weeks; better for the hoof and horse and nobody knows my horses as well as
I do.
Linda Cowles got me started www.healthyhoof.com She is amazing
and dedicated; and does trim in Northern Calif.
I am all for it and today I am going to pay double
maybe 3 times the amount I usually pay just because my trimmer is so
wonderful..............Shows up on time at a minutes notice , never complains
about the horses
Yup I have a great horse trimmer!!!
LOL........ I am my trimmer
With a shortage of farriers in our area I learned to
trim my own and use boots when needed.
I don't think tipping is necessary but anyone who has
stood in the heat trimming (they make it look easy) would not think $25 to $30
is to much to pay. Heck it is a bargain. I bought a Hoof Jack ( I now sell
them at Canadian Trail House but they are not on the web yet) that has made
life really easy on my back.
If you have a good farrier appreciate him and pray he
never quits or gets hurt.
