Hoof Help Online was created by husband & wife team, James and Yvonne Welz, founders of The Horse's Hoof Website and Magazine in 2000. Both life-long horse lovers, they traveled the world to study barefoot trimming and horse care. Below is a photo of James & Yvonne with the late, great Joe Camp on the left, and Dr. Robert Bowker on the right.
James Welz has been a hoofcare professional (barefoot trimmer) since 2000. He was one of the first in the United States to receive a higher education in barefoot trimming, and one of the first to begin a full-time career as a barefoot-only professional.
James’ major influences in trimming – besides the horses he works on daily – include Dr. Robert Bowker, Jaime Jackson, Dr. Hiltrud Strasser, Pete Ramey, and wild horse hooves from around the world.
James was a pioneer in using power tools for hoof trimming. His method can be done with any tools - hand tools are demonstrated - but power tools are a great aid on those hard desert hooves! Power tools are also invaluable for aging trimmers, as they spare your body. He can teach owners and other hoofcare professionals about how to safely use power tools to help improve their trimming. He will be sharing more advanced power tool techniques right here on Hoof Help Online.
Yvonne Welz is the creator and editor of both websites, The Horse's Hoof and Hoof Help Online. A former Advertising Art Director, she published The Horse's Hoof Magazine for 20 years and 80 issues (read them all for free on Hoof Help Online), and now publishes the free monthly e-newsletter, Barefoot News. For 25 years, she was a competition dressage rider, and then went bitless in 2013, started a small riding school Heart to Hoof Horsemanship, and became an Associate Trainer with the World Bitless Association. She is also a Customer Experience Expert at Cavallo Hoof Boots. She is research oriented, fanatical about holistic health and nutrition, and ready to help you find whatever you need on your barefoot journey!
Testimonials
"It’s hard to believe, but I’ve kept my horses barefoot for 22 years now. We have rehabbed 5 different horses throughout that time, including a Foxtrotter, a Tennessee Walker, 2 Paso Finos, and a Morgan. One had navicular syndrome when we started and became completely sound after several months, with removal of eggbar shoes and pads. She was given to age 15 to live by a vet; she died at 33. All the others achieved soundness in various amounts of time, the shortest being the Morgan. We never could have imagined this wonderful outcome without the help and encouragement of James and Yvonne Welz. They were always there to keep us going and to answer our many questions. We are so glad we made the barefoot decision years ago and would never go back to any type of nailed on shoe. Our horses’ health is proof of this." - Carol Peat, Flagstaff, Arizona (photo above)
"You all changed my horses' lives and I have been an avid follower of yours for 15 years now. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your wisdom, experience, photos, articles and insights. They are truly 'golden!' I have even had veterinarians compliment my trim, thanks to you. I only trim my own, of course." 🙂 - Jennifer Hill
"There have been many changes in my life, but I never lost the passion for hooves and the desire to see as many horses as possible enjoying a life with healthy hooves. I continue to trim my horse and few other horses of friends. Your program helped my to have a clear, positive, confident image of what to do and I enjoyed beautiful results. I am wishing WELZ for every horse in the world." - Nicoleta Dobrin
