I got started with natural hoofcare many years ago on my own horses. Finding Jamie Jackson was a major breakthrough in my education to caring for my horses' feet. After years of trial and error I decided to give back to the horse and teach others how to trim their own horses.  I conduct monthly trimming workshops as well as one-on-one trimming instructions. My goals are to teach others about a more natural lifestyle and a natural trim. As with everything we do with our horses, support and information is a big part of how successful we will be. Horse owners can and do trim their own horses.  I also teach natural horsemanship-starting colts and teaching people to get handy with their horses. This includes handling of their feet. The combination of natural trimming and horsemanship makes for a great outcome.  Debbie Dutra  Truckee CA  530.582.0343  www.naturalhoofcare.com  or email me at:  dutraddranch@earthlink.net

Erika Mørup, www.gladehove.dk Trained in the US through the AANHCP, now preparing to seek certification through the AHA.  I have experience working both with performance horses and horses who have major hoof pathologies.  My approach emphasizes a comfortable transition period that maintains and increases a horses soundness and rideability from day one.  In addition to top quality trimming I am well equipped to help owners properly address dietary problems that are affecting hoof quality and carry a full stock of hoof boots for horses needing extra protection and support during the transition period between shoes and barefoot.

I now speak for the wild horse model. I would be glad to share my experience with people who particularly have flat-footed horses and have tried other trims which have not given the results they want. My horse is very grateful.
