Welcome to Dave Fitton Hoof Care Specialist L.L.C.

It is my hope that the information you find on this site will educate and encourage you in your quest to be a good equine steward.

Transitioning a horse to barefoot is  an individual process unique to every horse. It is a journey that can be life changing for both you and your horse.      

It is important to give your horse the most natural lifestyle possible....this includes but is not limited to a balanced barefoot trim, a properly fitted saddle, supplements and herbs, regular dental checkups, body work, regular exercise, turn out, herd lifestyle, regular Veterinarian checkups, grass hay and a small amount of whole oats, access to fresh water and salt at all times.

At our home place we offer specialized board and care for critically foundered, laminitic and Navicular horses that are in need of special daily attention. Please call for a free consultation and boarding rates.

Horses need and enjoy moisture for their hooves. This clients horse decided to soak his own hooves.

Teaching a colt that there is nothing to be afraid of when you get your hooves trimmed. This colt was born with "calf knees."  This was his 2nd trim and his legs and hooves are balanced. If caught at an early age many leg and hoof problems can be corrected in just a couple of trims.
