Guidelines For Safely Feeding Horses in Hawaii
Susanella Noble, CNBBT
Hoof Care Practitioner
Apprenticeship Program
My relationship with my apprentices is a two-way street because we learn together and from each other. We are practicing holistic horse care from the ground up studying anatomy, diet, environment and exercise. My students gain the knowledge and techniques to earn their Natural Balance Barefoot Trimmer Certification.
Marielle Leeds
Marielle studied the Strausser Method and had great success trimming horses in California 10 years ago. After settling on The Big Island she went searching for the barefoot movement and found me.
Pamela Au
Pam lives on Oahu where she's proving that giant warmbloods can be barefoot. We commute inter-island to practice and study. She is a specialist in spiritual communication, holistic healing and natural supplements. Please visit her website, Whispering Winds or call for a consultation 808-781-9753
Sovana Rath
Sovana and I have been working on one of her severly laminitic horses with great success. She has five sisters, four horses and two minis. She and her sister, Tapia, recently rode in a parade on the only horses who were shoeless and bitless.
Chris Jones
Chris has a calming effect on the most difficult horses and owners alike. She has a degree in marine biology and has worked as a trainer for sea lions. Her spirit companion is a young paint gelding named Lakota who is my poster boy for perfect hooves. Chris and her partner live Kona side with their three dogs. She dives, sails and surfs!
Mitchell Ruggles
Mitch is a graduate of Ka`u High with deep roots in the Big Island. He grew up with his family's five horses - actually learning to shoe them. After riding with me for a couple of weeks, Mitch saw the consequences of metal shoes and has taken all his horses barefoot. I appreciate his strength of character and body! He is an avid surfer and plays guitar in a rock band around the island.
