Our neighbor, Randi's  24 year old mare, Fern, doesn't seem at all upset about the trimming job that was done on her feet.  And, for all of us who love our horses, there can be a special feeling of closeness and warmth, in knowing we've helped our friends to healthier and more comfortable lives with a concerned attention that most horses don't get.  All kinds of  both archival and continually updated information about natural hoof care and trimming is available from Randi's Natural Horse Magazine (www.naturalhorse.com).
