Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I moved across the country to start farrier school January 2016. It’s been quite the ride!
I’m incredibly grateful to everyone that has supported me in building my business to what it is today.
Thank you to all my clients for trusting me to care for your animals. I wouldn’t be here without you!
Here’s to another 30! 🥂

This horse developed a canker in his heel after a bad abscess. With help from the vet we debrided the area. He ended up losing the whole lateral heel once we got to the bottom of the infected tissue. After a week of cleaning and wrapping I applied a shoe with floppy pad with the lateral heel cut out to float it and to leave access to continue cleaning and treating it. He was happy to stand on his foot and owner has dealt with cankers before so she knows exactly what to do. He is in good hands!

Good visual of the difference between a healthy wall and white line and an angry laminitic one

KC Trodden Professional Farrier Services taking exceptional care of Shadows feet. I 100% recommend KC! Her care for the horses is second to none. Always thinking of the horses first , never rushed.
KC’s broad knowledge of hoof care has been invaluable with the various issues we have encountered with our diverse group of equine rescues and retirees.
Thank you! …..I am so appreciative. I could not do this without you.

I first applied Perfect Hoof Wear to my own horse October 21st as a bit of a “trial run” to see if this is a product I liked and would recommend to clients. Today I took that one off and applied a new set. Safe to say I was happy with the outcome and was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful his feet looked underneath after having the wrap on for almost 6 weeks and out in wet/muddy conditions the last couple weeks. Perfect hoof wear is a cast alternative that is more flexible than casting and doesn’t require glues. It adheres to itself not to the hoof wall. I would say I am still in my trial run phase and now have it on my own horse and one client horse. I am curious to hear from her how her horse who was tender footed barefoot likes them. If you are wanting more info about this product I would happy to chat about my experience so far! It is a great shoe alternative if you have a horse with sensitive feet but won’t keep shoes on or walls are too thin to hold a shoe and you are tired of clunky boots. It is also more cost effective than glue on shoes.
First 3 pictures were my first application Oct 21st second 2 are today. I’m getting neater with my wrapping 😂

Controversial opinion: I rarely trim frog & sole on barefoot horses. Unless there is some sort of issue (thrush) I leave it alone 🐴
