Central Victoria 150km radius from Broadford including Yarra Valley and Macedon Ranges, Ballarat occasionally | Equine Soundness qualified |
As at August 2010, I have been trimming full time for 2 years while studying Equine Soundness, and am mentored by Carola Adolf. As an avid dressage rider, trainer, and judge, my main interest is in barefoot performance trimming, enabling sound, healthy, fully functional performance horses who are able to compete at the highest level. As a breeder of warmbloods, it is my ambition to produce healthy youngstock for performance, from the ground up. I compete on my own horses in dressage, both HRCAV and EA. I am experienced in the management and rehabilitation of horses affected by founder, rotation, navicular, contraction, club foot, underslung heels, ringbone and sidebone. I have many successful case studies on my books. |

I have been a professional trimmer in Western Victoria for many years, servicing horses on all terrains from the sandy coastal regions, to the rocky Goldfields and right up to the hot arid north. My clients include endurance, ex-racing, dressage, showing, as well as heavy working horses. Together we work out a solution for you and your horse, with the aim of achieving a sound working horse. I am prompt, professional and believe every time I visit it must be a positive experience for the horse, owner and me alike. |
