RE: [RC] barefoot trim/sole - Ranelle Rubin

A vertical rasp, then a rounded rasp, and as with any change, must be done incrementally. Look up Pete Ramey's books and DVD's..they are fantastic!

I have one barefoot, one shod. The barefoot one will remain barefoot as long as it is working. If and when it becomes more hassle than not in terms of the mileage I want to do with this guy, I will not hesitate to put shoes on him. He is 5, my shod horse is 9.

 And I'm curious how one trims a horses toes back, without taking sole out of the front? There is so much info on barefoot trimming, I'm overwhelmed, and under-timed on the computer to go thru it all. My access to computer is very limited. This is a problem I have with one horse - he grows a lot of toe, also has very thick soles. I'm doing my own trimming.
 
If someone has info on this aspect, or can reference me to info regarding specifically this, I would appreciate it.

Can somebody explain the principles of the bf trim?

I've seen some great results, and have a lot of respect for those who  
can manage to compete and keep their horse's feet in good shape. I'd  
like to hear a little more of the pro's.

(tho I seriously doubt I could keep my horses here barefoot - too  
much rock on range and trail)
