Deanna Stoppler is a certified hoof care practitioner who provides barefoot trimming and rehabilitation services for horses in Vermont.
In 2021, after nine years of practicing farriery, I transitioned away from the application of horsehoes and focused on barefoot rehab and trimming. I went back to school, achieving my Practitioner Certification with Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners .
The focus of my practice is to build a healthy foot from the inside out. Developing the caudal hoof by increasing circulation and building internal structures via a heel first landing. This is achieved by respecting the frog, sole, wall and bars, and adopting prevention techniques that keep the hoof healthy and strong.
Proper trimming, a forage based diet, movement and exercise, and enrichment for horses are the keys to optimal feet and to healthy, sound horses.
As the horse owner it is important for you to expand your knowledge of hoof care. Ask me anything! I am passionate about teaching and enjoy teaching owners to trim their own horses and to mentor those who are interested in pursuing a career in the hoof care industry.
