The Barefoot Horse Magazine founder & editor and founder of renowned UK Barefoot hoofcare specialists Hoofing Marvellous.
After graduating from University with a BSc Hons, Lindsay took a Post Graduate Certificate of Education and began teaching Science in further education colleges and secondary schools.
After nearly losing her beloved pony Sunny to laminitis, Lindsay decided to change career and travelled to the US to train with the famous and influential barefoot teacher, author and expert Jaime Jackson, to become a qualified Natural Hoofcare Practitioner.
She then continued her training throughout Europe, until bringing her expertise back to the UK to start her own barefoot hoofcare business.
Realising that there was a huge need for barefoot specialists throughout the UK, Lindsay went on to found Hoofing Marvellous, which rapidly grew into a team of 6 qualifed Barefoot Specialists covering the South and South West of the UK.
