The normal functioning healthy
foot (natural foot) is so incredibly adaptable that it can and will respond to any stimulus presented to it.
It can virtually take care of itself...All we have to do is supply the medium! The natural barefoot is conditioned by
the environment to which it is exposed as well as the performance trim that it receives to help get it there.
All barefeet are not necessarily high performance conditioned
barefeet. Improper or more commonly "Conventional" trimming, shoeing and lifestyle 'glitches'
will contribute to contraction and impede the natural function of the foot.
The feet are the life force of the horse.
Many things can and do happen because of conventional wisdom. The way we have been taught to trim, shoe
and keep horses is counter productive for their biological make up and continues to cause disastrous effects on horses world
wide.
A Naturally living performance trimmed barefoot horse is healthier in
many ways. Better animation and movement for starters. Better skin and coat appearance and production,
better circulation, better and more constant physical condition, better emotional health and behavior....waaay less chance
of digestive upsets or colic. You can decrease or elliminate lameness issues like founder, navicular, 'mystery'
lameness, thrush, canker, WLD,...etc...these are reversible with proper natural and barefoot care....not to mention elliminating
stable vices!
Anyone can learn to do a natural barefoot
trim once the foot is put back to a physiologically correct shape, or started out that way.
