Hi!! Welcome to Heart & Sole Natural Hoof Care! I'm so glad you came to visit! 🐴
My name is Cassie Moreta. I specialize in corrective trimming, hoof rehabilitation (laminitis, founder, navicular, ect), glue-on shoes, shoe removal & transitional care, therapeutic casting/polywrap, and boot fittings for my clients. I'm a natural barefoot trimmer with over 6 years of experience. I would love to talk with you about your horse(s)! I'm currently accepting new clients!
My Services
Trimming:
I'm happy to provide regular routine hoof care on a reliable schedule. All sizes from Draft to Mini horses, donkeys, & mules.
Shoe Removal & Transitional Care:
For those who wish to kick off the shoes and go barefoot! I'm experienced in barefoot transitions & supporting the horse (and owner) through their natural hoof journey.
Corrective Trimming:
I am educated in hoof pathology & experienced in restoring health, balance, and improving functionality to hooves that need to rehab & heal. This includes laminitis, founder, navicular, underrun heels, thin soles, ect. I have worked on a wide variety of hoof pathology and I enjoy helping horses find their way back to soundness and comfort. For complicated cases I'm well acquainted to working in collaboration with an attending vet for best possible plan & outcome.
Composite Glue On Shoes:
Glue on shoes are a great alternative to traditional shoes. I use them mainly for therapeutic and transitional purposes. They can be used for routine long term use as well. See more about glue on shoes from the menu.
Casting or Polywrap:
This is a wrap that covers the hoof and hardens to form a protective "custom boot" for therapeutic & rehabilitation use. It's an excellent tool to help a horse transition to barefoot with more ease when other issues are present (such as thin soles, laminitis, navicular pain, etc.).
Boot Fitting:
Free complimentary Scoot Boot fitting for my clients. I carry a Scoot Boot Fit Kit complete with all sizes. I can size your horses on site, giving you the exact order size needed to get you hitting those rocky trails faster with a exclusive discount code. Boots are great for the barefoot horse! Take them off when they are out to pasture, apply when needed for rocky trails or performance.
About Me
Heart and Sole Natural Hoof Care, LLC is my dream come true. My name is Cassie Moreta. I've always been a huge horse enthusiast! Growing up I was the horse crazy kid that volunteered & worked at barns to clean stalls just to be around the horses. My love for horses has never changed over the years. It's the driving force behind my care for them. Becoming a hoof care practitioner has been yet another passion of mine when it comes to understanding the horse as a whole. I bring over 6 years of experience, skill, dependability, and gentleness to every trim. I care about the horses, I love what I do, and I take pride in my work.
Composite glue on shoes
A great alternative to traditional shoes. Composite shoes provide impact absorption, traction, and hoof support (including caudal support for the back of the hoof). The hoof is still able to naturally expand and contract. They eliminate the need to drive a nail into the hoof improving hoof wall integrity. They are great for therapeutic use, transitional use, and long-term use.
Do they stay on? YES. Can you ride in these? YES. Can you W/T/C and enjoy performance work in these? YES. Can you barrel race or jump in these? YES. Can I get a full trim cycle out of these- YES.
About Barefoot
I hear this question all the time. Don't horses NEED shoes? The short answer is, NO. Although shoes have their time & place, most horses are more than capable of being barefoot.
Horses are born shamelessly barefoot. Hooves are a truly amazing intricate structures, designed to carry the horse across MANY miles daily- bare. Hooves are adaptive, assist with blood flow, communicate sensory information to the horse, and so much more!! A horse who isn't sound barefoot, isn't sound. Sometimes that's because our interventions are working against the horse.
I'm specifically skilled in trimming according to the needs of the barefoot horse. Barefoot horses require an understanding of the structures and function of the natural hoof, preserving their natural barriers of protection, and respecting what they need to remain sound, healthy, and strong.
Diet, environment, health & activity also play a big part in their natural hoof journey! This is a holistic- whole horse approach. I have educated myself in the overall needs for hoof health success and I love to share that with my clients!

Questions? I've Got Answers!
Not sure if your horse can go barefoot? Have you tried barefoot before but it didn't work out? Is your horse struggling to stay sound barefoot or in shoes? Can a barefoot horse still be a riding, hacking, or performance horse? Navicular? Laminitis? Cracks/Chips? Thrush? White Line Disease? What about diet, how do I feed the hoof? Have questions? Let's talk! Perhaps I can help your horse start his/her journey to natural barefoot soundness!
I love the horses. I love what I do. This is my passion.
I believe the natural hoof is the best hoof! I love to see horses thrive naturally!! Growing strong, healthy & capable hooves as the good Lord designed them. I love being apart of that journey!
