Welcome,

This Web site is dedicated to those people who have made the decision to keep their horses barefoot. We'd like to help by providing useful information, tips and products to make it easier for you to make informed decisions about your horse's hooves and general health. Our business, Holistic Hoofcare, looks at the health of the entire horse and how it relates to growing good, strong hooves.

Initially it may feel like you are being labelled a "horse hippie" as you have diverted from the norm and moved away from metal shoes. But you are not alone, it is a worldwide phenomenon - people are recognising the damage caused by metal shoes and are looking for other options.

In this website you will find information on common hoof ailments such as laminitis, founder, shin splints and navicular, and ways to combat these problems.

If you are transitioning your horse to barefoot, or just need extra protection when you are out hacking or competing, we have a range of hoof boots available so you can find one that suits your horse and you.

Happy little barefoot ponies and their riders.
