Does your horse suffer from brittle, cracked hooves, thin soles, poor frogs, intermittent lameness or arthritic joints? Do you both struggle with laminitis every year with little sign of a permanent cure? Has your horse been diagnosed with Navicular?

• Is your horse trying to cope with stumbling, slipping, tripping, overreach injuries or swollen legs?
• Are you tired of lost shoes and the hassle of getting them back on again?
• Do you have questions about how you can enable your horse to become healthier, fitter and sound with true lasting hoof - and whole horse - health?

The Association for the Advancement of Natural Horse Care Practices barefoot trimming and management program is the most complete, forward thinking holistic horse care program in the world. It is based on the proven healthy wild horse hoof, nutrition and natural lifestyle giving AANHCP practitioners the edge when it comes to helping our equines at home. If we don't know what true health looks like how do we know the goals we are working towards?

The AANHCP barefoot trimming Guidelines enable practitioners to mimic the truly healthy hooves and lifestyle of the wild horse, mule and burro, which provide the natural templates and foundation for genuine natural hoof care. The Guidelines prevent invasive trimming and methods that leave excessive growth which has deleterious effect on the hooves integrity, thereby causing harm. The AANHCP Guidelines do not yield a ''single trim'' or a one size fits all approach to barefoot trimming, rather they facilitate the unique individual growth patterns of each horse without causing harm or obstructing natural gaits. Practitioners of the AANHCP are trained to help you and your horse with all aspects of barefoot trimming, including related nutrition and starting a paddock paradise natural movement setup.

The benefits of the AANHCP barefoot trimming and mangement program are many, including:

• Reduced concussion and impact on the horses entire body, which greatly aids healthy as well as arthritic joints - your horse will have his suspension back!
