Melody O’Brien has been a Hoof Care Practitioner since 2011 and is a certified Practitioner, Mentor and Clinician with the Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners (progressivehoofcare.org).  Since Melody began this journey, she has gained a depth of experience in the field, combined with ongoing education in hoof care, nutrition, biomechanics, bodywork, and holistic horse health through mentorships, webinars, clinics, and conferences.

Melody’s intention is to advocate for horses by educating and empowering horse owners in Whole Health Hoof Care:  An approach to trimming that emphasizes that healthy hooves are a result of proper nutrition, an active lifestyle, and frequent, non-invasive trimming.  
 
Melody is also an herbalist and gardener, and co-founder of the ​​Wild Mountain Herbal Collective.  The Naturopathy program at Southern Cross University in Australia introduced her to medicinal herbs, and she now grows herbs to use in her own medicine and for horse health.
