Rachael is a native Texan, born and raised on a family ranch in southwest Texas.  A horse lover from birth, she grew up riding on the ranch and competing in youth rodeo.  Her interest in hoof care increased after identifying pathologies and becoming frustrated with the options available for horses with problem hooves.  The resulting diligent search led Rachael to natural hoof care and eventually to a year long educational course in holistic hoof care from which she graduated in 2002. 

 

Over the past few years, she has had the opportunity to trim in several different areas, observe a variety of hoof conditions and experience trimming on a wide variety of terrains from the Gulf Coast to Arkansas and Oklahoma.  Her professional focus has been on adding to the initial education for the benefit of the horses she trims and the students who seek her advice on a regular basis.

 

Rachael and her husband Bret raise Corriente roping cattle, horses and goats and live in the Houston, TX area.
