On the Island of Utila off the north coast of Honduras, veterinary care is limited and there are no farriers or hoof trimmers to care for the 30+/- horses inhabiting this small island. The WorldVets team will provide general health exams, medical treatment, and bare hoof care utilizing the natural trim method.
I've been trimming horses and mules Spring of 2007 and absolutely love it! My husband and I own two saddle mules named Rusty and Buckshot. I attended the Oregon School of Natural Hoof Care in May of 2007 and have been trimming ever since. Last summer I was invited to help coordinate a volunteer effort to provide training in the care and trimming of the hooves of the horses on this small island of the north coast of Honduras called Utila. Here is my story. Stay tuned as the trip progresses.
