Our services
Whatever your horse
needs next.
From the hoof up to the mind in — farriery, training, clinics and more, all from the same calm, nervous-system-first approach. Real help, for real horses, across the Garden Route and beyond.
How we help
One approach, many ways in.
Every service below is built on the same thing: understanding the horse first, then doing the practical work well. Pick what you need — a trim, a training block, a clinic place — and tap the button on it to message Ray directly.
Farriery
Balanced feet, sound movement.
Barefoot trims, shoeing and honest hoof assessment — measured, not guessed.
Hoof Trim — Full
Keep your horse's hooves balanced, healthy and natural. Ideal for barefoot horses, or those resting between shoeing cycles.

Hoof Assessment — Basic
Your horse's feet photographed square on a levelled block and actually measured — wall and pastern angles, coronary band, and how the base sits about the point of balance. You get the numbers and a plain-language read of what they mean for the next trim or shoeing.

Every figure in the report comes off images taken like this one — square to the foot, on a levelled block, referenced to the ground plane. Shoot it the same way next time and the two are genuinely comparable.
Farriery · the written report
Hoof Assessment — Comprehensive
Everything in the basic assessment, and then the part that takes the time: a written report that sets your horse's measured geometry alongside the published reference figures, grades every option by how well the evidence actually supports it, and puts them in the order worth doing them.
- Your numbers against published ideals. Palmar and plantar angles, pedal bone angle, column alignment, base proportions and coronary band angle — each one measured, and each one shown against the figure the literature gives, front and hind.
- Options in priority order, honestly graded. Every recommendation carries its evidence strength. Where the research cuts both ways, the report says so and shows both sides rather than picking the convenient one.
- What to expect, and when. Which changes happen the same day, which take a shoeing cycle or two, and which take a full hoof-wall replacement — with the evidence grade on each.
- A protocol for the next one. Same blocks, same stance, same measuring template, same reference plane. Comparison only means anything if the method is repeatable, so the method is written down.
- The references, listed. The last report ran to nineteen — journal papers, case-control studies and practitioner sources — so your vet can go and read the same material.

Behavioural Problem Solving
Struggling with a certain behaviour? It is more common than you think — and most of the time the horse is simply misunderstood. Let's find the why.
