Natural Hoof Care by Christopher Collins
Collins HoofCare is based on the holistic biological approach of the Natural Hoof Care method. In my work, I focus on natural and minimally invasive hoof treatment, in harmony with the hoof’s natural functions. Drawing on solid technical knowledge and precise observation skills, I promote the health and resilience of the hooves. As an experienced hoof care practitioner, I combine skilled craftsmanship with a refined understanding of anatomy, movement patterns, and the horse’s natural needs. In principle, this type of hoof care is suitable for any horse.

About me
As long as I can remember, I have felt a deep admiration, affection, and love for horses. To me, they are far more than just animals; I see them as our friends, teachers, and loyal, trusted companions.
My Philosophy
To have healthy hooves, a horse does not need horseshoes. On the contrary, horseshoes more or less interfere with the natural hoof mechanism. They slow down blood circulation, reduce hoof horn growth, and thus cause a gradual deterioration of the hoof.
My work
I am a dedicated advocate of natural hoof care (Natural Hoof Care, Pete Ramey, Jamie Jackson). For a natural hoof care practitioner, the most important skill is the ability to “read” the hoof. Each hoof must be assessed individually, as every hoof tells its own story.
Service area
I work as a professional hoof care specialist throughout western Germany and the surrounding regions. My services include regular hoof care, individual hoof analyses, and holistic on-site support—where your horse feels most comfortable.
