Hi Phil,
I ordered the DVD
and tools last week. I got them on
Friday and watched the DVD that night.
I’ve had previous experience
shoeing/trimming my Foxtrotter horses
for quite some time now. On Saturday I
tried the system out for the 1st
time with great success. It was so
much easier than standard tools. My
horses were very calm with the abrasive
technique. Even though they previously
had shoes on, they have been running
around the pasture like crazy and very
sound.
Thanks for the
great products and customer service,

HI Phil,
Just used my angle grinder
for the first time. So easy! I have two
Morgans with feet like rock during the dry
season, but had been
putting off learning during the rainy season
as they are easy to trim
now. But I did such a better job, in less
than 1/4 of the time, with
much licking and chewing from the horses.
They didn't bat an eye, and
my extension cord wasn't long enough to tie
them up, so they just
stood there with the leadrope over their
backs. It was so much easier
to see the heel "platform" and determine
appropriate heel height with
the grinder! I thought I wouldn't be able to
finesse their problem
bars, but no problems! The sole was much
smoother than my normal job.
The horses and I thank you!

Hi Phil,
I thought I'd send you a follow up note
to let you know how much I appreciate
your
wonderful website and very nicely done
DVD. The 'review' option is very
helpful. WOW....what
a difference to be able to get my
horse's hooves in shape!
FINALLY investing in a Hoof Jack has
changed this back breaking job into one
I actually
look forward to. But using the angle
grinder to do the real work is nothing
short of.......sweeeeeeeet!
Many thanks and best wishes,
Colleen Monahan
p.s.- If I can find some time to come up
and spend a day learning hands-on from
you
I'll give you a call. And if you're
yearning to visit the Santa Cruz
area....let me know.
Phil,
I've finished
somewhere around 30 mini's since I got my
grinder a couple weeks ago. In another
couple weeks I'll be through the herd. This
has been nothing short of a God send for
me. I have not had a problem with any of my
horses. They are use to the noise of
clippers, and me. I ordered the mini hoof
stand - it is cute as a bug. It has been a
little awkward for me to get use too, but I
will. I luv the way the magnets hold my
tools. I just have to get use to where to
position it.
Like
every ranch we have a couple special needs
hoofs. This method of trimming lets me
focus on angles, and I was able to get one
of the best trim jobs for those mares that I
ever have. I also became aware that I had
been leaving my heals a little higher then I
should. I feel like I am doing a much
better job, and not beating my body up
nearly as bad.
This has
turned out to be a perfect method for
trimming my minis.
Hi Phil,
Just want to let you know that we have used the
grinder with great success. I'm not sure how
many people use a grinder here in The
Netherlands professionally with horses, but I am
thanks to you. I am very enthousiastic and so
are my horses. The ease of use and precision are
enormous and I will advocate the method under
all my clients.
Kind regards,

Hi
Phil,
Well, today I used my Cummins grinder on 2 of my horses.
I have to say I'm in love. Wow sure made my job easy.
The first horse I did was my stallion. He pulled his foot a few
times but
settled right down. I never practiced on wood. I did not
use a handle
on the grinder at all. I just figured it would get in my way.
Have been doing my own trimmings now for over a year so using
the grinder was extremely easy. I will being doing my other 2
in a
few weeks when they are due for their next trim. They are all
on a 4 week schedule. One thing I really like about this
is
that with on the hind feet I can do the toes from the bottom
to get the toe length right. My other horse never even
flinched
when I turned on the grinder and proceeded.
Thank you, Phil, for sharing this method. And I used my
hoofjack.
Can't do the feet between my legs due to an ankle that has
12 pins and a plate. Too much stress placed on it..

"Hi
Phil,
Thanks for the quick reply! I am an SHP student and wanted
you
to know that of all the hooves pictured in The Horses Hoof issue,
YOURS was BY FAR THE BEST!!!!!! You are doing a great
trim
and I love that you are promoting the abrasive trim. I
have carpel
tunnel and doing the whole hoof with knives is very painful for
me.
I am using a rotozip and angle grinder and will be taking these
to my next practicum this month. The SHP instructors are
not very
open to this technique, so I will be "bucking" the
system with my noisy tools.
Looking forward to your DVD!!"
