My name is Amber Mohr, I currently live in Kansas with
my husband and our daughter.We currently have 5 horses, including a Paint, named Toby,a black arabian we call "The
Black", a POA/Shetland pony mare named "Little Bit", a Paso Fino, "Bandero", and a Miniature
named Snapple. We have an interesting addition to the herd this year. "Corona" was a yearling QH colt that
we no longer have, but while he was just 4 months old, he sired a filly with "Lil Bit" which we dubbed
"Kahlua". A freak accident confirmed with a lab DNA test, "Kahlua" is a half pony/half QH. Currently
we are limited to riding and driving mostly at home as career and family haven't allowed us to get out with the horses much,
but we will soon once again be hitting the public trails. We also have a dog, a couple of ferrets, guinea pigs and
the usual assortment of semi-feral barn cats. I
grew up on horses. I was blessed with a series of ponies and horses as I grew up,showing locally and participating
in 4-H, rodeos and parades and shows. In high school, I was on the horse judging team in FFA and my very first job was
"Horse Wrangler" on the Buffalo River, at a place then called Buffalo Outdoor Center. My second job was starting
colts for my farrier, Jim Thomas. After a while he started taking me with him on jobs to hold horses and that's what got me
started with hooves. I had always had horses in mind for a career. I didn't dream of being in
hoof care when I was in school, instead I wanted to be a trainer, but I guess the Lord had other things in mind. I learned
to shoe to save money, and found I had a real knack for hoof care, but I only did it on the side for a long while. I
worked a lot of other jobs in the meantime, from a Tyson's chicken plant to a pet shop and even cleaned stalls and started
colts, and was another "wrangler" at Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, MO and took care of their horses. When I discovered natural
trimming, I really embraced it, with a strong shoeing background I like to think that has helped me really see how natural
is so much better than shoes. I really see much better results with barefoot than with shoes, and have done a lot of
independent research to confirm that natural really is better. I now do barefoot trims exclusively and
have a loyal, happy clientele. It's really rewarding for me and the most satisfying to watch lame horses make a full recovery
and do better barefoot than they did with a lifetime of shoes. I am working on becoming certified in
Natural Hoof Care, but everything was put on hold while I was on maternity leave, and I'm having to start over on that process.
While I was pregnant I took and passed, a Natural Hoof Care course from Penzance Educational Center (listed on my links
page), then went on to complete the Professional level and have my certifiate for both classes. I have also applied to the American Hoof Association for approval. I'm am
building my case studies to be submitted for review, but like all good things, it just takes time. I'll be announcing when
the certification is finally official, but in the mean time, I'll keep photographing and doing more research on the latest
hoof related discoveries so I can pass the information on. I continue to do independent research on the latest news in lameness,nutrition
and hoof products and will be posting on my blog as I make new discoveries, so keep checking back for new posts. God Bless! OFFICAL
