Equine podiatry · Suffolk
Functional hooves and healthy horses.
Hooves on Track is barefoot trimmer Tony McNamara DEP, a Level 5 Lantra-accredited equine podiatrist, and Clair McNamara. Tony looks after the hooves. Together we look at the whole horse, their management and environment.
What we do
A holistic approach
We don't just look at the hooves, but the whole horse — its lifestyle, diet and management. Trimming is only a small part of what keeps a horse sound. Every trim is adapted to the individual horse.
Our primary goal is to make horses as sound and comfortable as possible.
"The default state for an animal is health."
Horses are herd animals. They need companionship, movement and an appropriate diet. The closer we keep them to nature, the fewer problems they have.
An appointment
What happens when Tony visits
- Visits begin with an assessment of the horse's movement before any trimming. Tony will ask owners for an update on how the horse has been going since the last visit, plus any changes made in the horse's management. After this assessment, Tony will trim as required before carrying out a further walk-up to evaluate progress.
- Following the appointment, owners receive a written visit report from Clair with any instructions the owners should carry out between visits to improve the health of the hooves.
