Our Services

Due to a steadily increasing customer base, appointments are required.

  • Glen does not shoe horses. Due to costs, Glen requires a minimum of 3 horses to travel 100 km or more or travelling will apply. Horses do not have to be on the same property but within reasonable distance of each other. Most clients get together with some friends if on nearby properties they are isolated.
  • Regularly scheduled horses take priority over intermittent horses.
  • Julia does not practice during the working week unless the horse is brought to our facility at Temora.
  • We recommend monthly hoof trims as this, in all our education, is what is recommended to us. Barefoot is reknowned for trims every 4 weeks as to trim at longer intervals required the trimmer to change the hoof capsule every time he trims. This then places additional strain on the horse's body as it adjusts with every trim. David Farmilo, also, recommends shoes are reset every 4 weeks. In order to apply this philosophy to our client horses and give them the best possible care, Glen schedules to be in the same area to trim on a monthly rotation.
  • Glen and Julia reserve the right to refuse to trim/treat dangerous horses.
