Barefoot Farrier Jim Apple

Just four years after graduating from the Ky. Horseshoeing School in 1990, he took his anvil and shoes out of his truck for good. Instead, he began to focus on trimming horses to perform as nature had intended.

With this new focus, Jim was able to develop his own style of barefoot hoof trimming based on the idea that a truly sound horse could work un-shod in any discipline - regardless of what he had been told and taught.

To this day, Jim likes to "talk hoof" with anyone who will open their minds up. He likes to learn and share from all he meets, but leaves the true test of whether it has all been worth it to the ones who truly know the truth, the horses he works on.  Visit Jim on Facebook.
