This “basic” Natural Trim Training Program is a comprehensive, academic, and hands-on foundational course in the artful science of natural hoof care NHC). The natural trim is a humane, barefoot trimming method that mimics the natural wear patterns of wild, free-roaming horses (aka, the “mustang”) of the U.S. Great Basin. This action immediately “triggers” healthy growth patterns, that, when accompanied by other natural holistic practices also based on the wild horse model, eventually result in naturally shaped hooves. By all accounts, this transformation is truly a miracle of nature, but, technically, it is an outcome of the specie’s adaptation, embedded in the DNA of every horse living today. It is of paramount importance to recognize that practitioners do not force the foot to look a certain way (e.g., like a wild horse hoof), but facilitate it through the natural trim method of
mimicking wild horse hoof wear patterns.
