Welcome to Barefoot Horse Keeping at HoofSmarts.com

HoofSmarts.com is the home of Bucksnort Farms, your consultants for Natural Hoof Care and Natural Horsekeeping. Following the Wild Horse Model, we are trained and certified through the American Association of Natural Hoof Care Practitioners. We are horse owners and horse lovers and want to share our experience with you.

When trail riding in the mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, we are often stopped and asked how our horses tolerate the rocky trails barefoot. We always have more information to share than the time to give it.  Going barefoot encompasses not only the trim, but your horse's environment, health, activity level and diet.  We developed this web site for all the people we bump into. 

We hope this site will answer questions, provide valuable information and direct you to a healthier lifestyle for your horse.
