Pamela’s journey into the world of barefoot trimming started with a Thoroughbred diagnosed with navicular syndrome in 2002. She did not like the usual prognosis and outcome of conventional treatments and so she started to research what else could be done to help this mare. Her investigations led her to barefoot trimming, which in turn started a passion of learning how better to help horses to live healthier and longer lives.

Pamela has been trimming her own 5 horses since 2003 and became a professional trimmer in 2007. Not being satisfied with the resources available to her, she enrolled with and obtained certification from Equine Soundness.

Between 2004 to 2011 she managed Dr. Steven Skinner’s Barefoot Rehabilitation Center for Equines in Sherwood, OR.

Pamela was a 4H leader for 20 years in a local horse group. She loves teaching and interacting with children and horses.

Along with the barefoot hoof care Pamela has a strong interest in horse nutrition and clicker training.

She embraces teaching and working with horse owners to help achieve the best they can do for their equine partners.
