By the way, if you are looking for a list
of barefoot trimmers, there is a handy and little-known Barefoot Trimmer search
function by zip code here.

Thanks Judy,
I’m having a
barefoot trimmer come out once every five or six weeks, depending on the needs
of each horse. I’m doing some regular rasping of the feet with an
old-fashioned rasp and hoof stand to keep the mustang roll in tact and to keep
the toe back. I have not graduated to a grinder yet, but I have seen people
more experienced and more capable than me using one and it looks impressive.
The mustang roll you
see in the photos are done by a professional trimmer using a rasp.
What
a difference! The hooves look so much healthier. What kind of trimming
are you doing or having done, i.e. tools or abrasive with a grinder? The
beveled edges look like a grinder. I use one and find it much
easier. Thanks for sharing.
