Good evening!

Just a quick update to let you know that from 1st April, trim fees will increase by £2.50 per trim.

With the rising costs of fuel, tools, and general expenses, this small adjustment will help me continue to provide the same quality service.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support! ❤️

October was kind, but now the weather’s wet — and the mud is here! 🌧️🐴

A few little things that will make your hoofcare professional very happy (and make us want to keep being your hoofcare professional too 😬):

🐴 Please have your horse ready before I arrive. A settled horse with a haynet to keep them warm and content makes everything go more smoothly.

🐴 Please bring a towel to dry your equine’s legs and hooves.
If you hose them just before the appointment, the legs stay wet — which means my hands and arms do too! If hosing is needed, please try to do it early enough so they have time to dry.

🏡 A nice, dry area to work in makes a huge difference — it keeps everyone safer and makes the job much easier for both your horse and me.

🧰 My tools are expensive, and mud quickly clogs them up, limiting their use. A quick brush after you’ve picked out the hooves (a good wire brush works wonders!) really helps them last longer.

🧤 Mud also makes my gloves wet and slippery, making it harder to keep hold of my tools. This can lead to tools being dropped, which could scare your horse and put both of us at risk when I’m working so close to their hooves.

(And yes — I’m often early to appointments! You never know how the horse before yours will behave, and I’m always happy to wait a few minutes while you get those muddy legs and hooves sorted. 😉)
