"Proof Is In The Hoof"
About Kate
Kate originally completed her farrier training at the Oklahoma Horseshoeing School in 1998 where she learned how to forge her own shoes and trim. Her motivation for taking this training was because she couldn’t find a farrier who could keep a shoe on her horses. About 3 years later Kate was attending a clinic put on by Dr. Strasser from Germany who was an advocate of the barefoot trim. Kate wanted to prove her wrong so she went to the auction and collected 4 cripple horses and some donated animals to see if Strasser’s methods would be successful. Kate was surprised by the results but feels the “Proof Is In The Hoof”. In addition to her farrier training, Kate also has her trainers’ license for horse racing. Her primary goal was to prove that a horse could be successful with fewer injuries racing barefoot, but no one would train for a barefoot horse. Kate has had several wins and found that their horses had fewer injuries and more stamina and longevity in their careers.
Kate Romanenko
My goal is to help as many horses as I can, and the best way to do that is to educate others. I am passionate about teaching and helping people to learn how to improve the care of their horses. I am certified by the Canadian Farrier School and I also have my trainers license for horse racing. Horses are my life and I want to continue to educate others to help as many horses as I can.
Horses
Kate’s teaching is not limited to one specific method, but instead encompasses aspects of many different trimming techniques. Kates’ Motive is to teach the internal structures of the hoof, as well as trimming to enhance and promote natural hoof mechanics based on wild horse studies.
