Oh.my.GODFRY … I can’t even. I’m seeing more and more and more inquiries as to “why is my horse so sore!?” and it’s KILLING ME … my motto is now NO HEEL=NO HOOF=NO HORSE!!! It’s that simple. If your horse doesn’t have 1″ of depth of the collateral groove under the seat of corn and heel platform then your horse does not have enough heel! It’s THAT SIMPLE Folks … NO HEEL=NO HOOF=NO HORSE!!!!! Here’s what your horses’ hooves should be lookin’ like from the side: Do y’all see HEELS? From the back of the hoof? You want to be seeing about 2″ between the hairline (straight and NOT “V” shaped!) and the ground! … Take a look and I’ll challenge ya — post a pic of your horses’ hoof here in comments or send to me and I’ll do a quick commentary (I’ll be positive! )

About “Me” – I was an Equine 4-H Leader for well over a decade and have been a Licensed Riding Instructor since 1994. I have helped hundreds of children learn about horses and horsemanship through classes and camps as well as private and small groups. Our horses here on PENZANCE are gentle and well trained to have children around them and handling them. Parents are encouraged to stay with their children and learn, too! I am a Born Again Christian and will reference our Father with respect to the topic study but will not beat anyone over the head about Him! *grin*

HOME STUDY COURSE with personal coaching/intruction
If your horse’s hooves don’t look close to what is pictured above then I can almost assuredly say your horse has challenges with his hooves … tender, ouchy on rocks, short strided and more?
Find out how you can FIX these challenges! And, even if YOU don’t want to learn to trim your horses’ hooves yourself you’ll want to learn about the hooves so you can help your farrier or trimmer to get your horse 100% sound on ALL terrain! This is information you’ll not find anywhere else but is an integral part of Whole Health for the Whole Horse — and most importantly, THE HOOVES!

Just wanted to share this. Received today .. just moments ago. It truly does warm my heart! …
ME: The BEST supplement for hooves is 1. as much movement the horse can get in a 24/7 period of time and 2. RAW FORAGE … supplement 24/7 hay/grazing with fresh veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds. THAT feeds the immune system and will strengthen new hoof growth like you’ve never seen before!
LAURA O: I learned this from you 20 years ago, Gwen and since then I’ve grown a garden just for them every year. Also, as part of the movement plan/rehab, we go for walks or I gather things to feed them. The grass is greener on the other side of the fence and have realized that horses really do love new ground! It’s done wonders for Promenade Walks as well. I’ll start off with coaxing and discomfort and I’ll be thinking enough, maybe we should go back, but then I get 200’ down the road, the ears prick forward, the heel first landings begin and suddenly I’m being dragged forward. With a balanced diet, the trees are no longer getting chewed on any more either. No composting bin needed either. The veggie trimmings that are safe, go straight to the barn. I’ll do a hay test every year, but that’s just a small part of it. What I don’t know, they tell me
Are you facing challenges with your horse?
Would you like a stronger connection with your horse?
Do you have a horse that is balky, pushy, spooky, unfocused, or unable to perform at his highest standard?
Do you have a horse that suffers from PTSD from a former situation and you’re not sure how to handle it?
Do you have a phobic horse? i.e. claustrophobic, won’t load on trailer, scared of flags, whips, buggies, doesn’t want to be touched, won’t allow hooves to be handled, head shy, ear shy, what-have-you?
I’ve worked and studied with some of the best horsemanship masters and lived with horses of all ages, breeds, and disciplines for over 50 years. I can help you overcome these obstacles with your horse in a gentle, ‘natural’ and positive manner-one that is strongly effective and understood by the horse AND … you.
Serving the Lee, Charlotte and Collier, Glades and Hendry counties.
I will help you using PENZANCE horses on my farm in Cape Coral or will travel to your farm to teach you how to form an incredible bond and connection with your own horse and how to overcome the challenges you’re presently facing.
