This group is dedicated to the care and welfare of barefoot horses, everywhere, all breeds. We specialize in hoof-related matters, although we discuss other subjects such as general physical problems, nutrition, lifestyle, maintenance, behavioral issues. This is a restricted and monitored list. Off-topic posts are discouraged, as are posts advocating invasive trimming methods; personal attacks against individuals are not tolerated. The objective is to share problems concerning our horses and to offer solutions. We encourage "newbies" as well as experienced horsepeople to join us. We "owners" are just caretakers who've assumed the responsibility for our equine friends, and those who join here take that responsibility seriously.

Basepage photo: Meet Adja-Wali, best friend of Member Diane in Quebec. They are working on synchronization of their feet and enjoying themselves while they're at it. Note how Adja is paying close attention to Diane's feet...

Meet Hermes, we think owned by Misserika129. He's a retired trotter in Denmark, getting a trim. Just look at that eye!

Previous photo: thank you, Misserika129, for lending us your photo of handsome Hermes.
