Hey, I'm Lauren - AKA Vesty!
My mission is to provide integrative hoofcare guided by curiosity and compassion.
Great hoofcare is about more than just trimming. Evidence-based assessment, objective documentation and collaborative communication help me identify where each horse is today, where it needs to go, and the best path to get there - helping every horse move towards its healthiest, strongest and most functional feet!
Regular maintenance trim appointments are scheduled on a 4-6 week cycle for optimum hoof health.
A comprehensive assessment is an extensive and detailed look at your horses hoof health and movement. This service does not include a trim, but can be added on to a maintenance trim appointment. We will take a full suite of photographs of each foot, map each foot, map any rotational deformities in the leg, take videos of movement and hoof landing, and make a plan going forward to address any issues present. You will get a report broken down by each foot and all photos and videos. Thorough documentation allows us to objectively measure improvements in hoof health over time.
Horses who have significant pathology, special needs or behavioural issues will be put on an appropriate schedule and charged at an hourly rate.
Any horses needing glue ons will be quoted on a case by case basis. I don't offer steel shoeing.
