An artist and designer by trade, with a deep love for animals, I kept my horse at a local show stable. In 2003, inspired by the need to avert the nerving of a friend’s horse with dread ‘navicular’ syndrome, I went to the ‘Net to see if I could find some answers. He was a jumper, after all, and it made sense that he should be able to feel his feet!

The very same day, I found there was to be a three-day seminar in Ohio with a German vet. It looked like she might have some solutions. I purchased my seminar reservation, jumped in my car and drove east.

Unbelievably, I sat and cried through nearly the whole seminar. Every question, every inconsistency I had ever thought about with the horses in my hunter/jumper habit were being answered. Answered with the whys and, better, with a SOLUTION to the lameness that caused these beautiful, brave animals to “disappear” from the show barns every year.

I started along a new path with my own horses and have been trimming horses throughout the Midwest ever since.
