Distressed by the lack of adequate interest in barefoot treatment for lameness problems in horses, she discovered a natural barefoot trimming method in 2003. Because of the deficiency of trained barefoot hoofcare professionals in her area, Sheri enrolled and successfully completed a one year training hoofcare course. There are many barefoot schools of thought throughout the world. One must be wary of any barefoot professional that supports any invasive hoof trimming. One must use common sense when their horse is being trimmed by a barefoot trimmer or farrier that maintains their horses hooves. If a horse is comfortable before the trimmer arrives; the horse should be comfortable when they leave.
