About Rebecca ...

Rebecca has trimmed professionally for more than 20 years .

A former television journalist and filmmaker in a previous life, Rebecca was amongst the first cohort of students in the Diploma of Equine Podiotherapy. She went on to run and co-host a number of professional development events, including The Functional Hoof conferences. In Victoria, she ran a team of trimmers under the GoBarefoot banner. She has also run trim clinics for horse owners to learn to trim their own horses. Her trimming is informed by the work of Pete Ramey, Jamie Jackson and perhaps most significantly, David Landreville. She trims using power tools or hand tools - depending on the horse. Moving to Tasmania in 2019, she now lives and works in the Huon Valley and surrounds.

Rebecca has cared for my herd of seven for the last five years and I could not recommend her highly enough. She is kind, professional and extremely patient and makes every effort to ensure the animals are comfortable during their trims. I know my horses, mules and donkeys are in excellent hands with Rebecca.

I can highly recommend Rebecca as a hoof trimmer. She is highly skilled and continues to attend workshops and training. This allows her to liaise with peers and mentors to refine techniques and discuss new innovations in hoof care. She is ever so patient with my sometimes naughty boys and will use a firm but kind hand to sort out their quirks. I appreciate her wealth of knowledge about horse care in general as well as hoof care. My aged Thoroughbred, clydie x qh, and Shetland's 12 feet are in great hands!

Rebecca has been trimming my horses for almost 7 yrs now, and in that time their hoof health has improved immensely. No more cracks and chips, just good strong hooves. Rebecca is very caring and capable with handling the horses, and they have never had any issues with her routine. They love the power tools she uses for trimming.

My horses are on a 4 week trim cycle with her, she tells me what time she will be here, and bingo! She is there on time. Rebecca is always professional, and very knowledgeable about hoof anatomy. My horses and I are all very thankful to have her looking after their hoof health.

Rebecca Scott from GoBarefoot has been barefoot trimming our two miniature ponies for several years now and we have had an extremely positive experience with each and every visit. She is professional, very knowledgeable, amazing at handling our ponies who can be a bit skittish and always on time. Rebecca is very attentive to each pony’s individual needs and even assists with worming and tail trims. We can’t recommend Rebecca and GoBarefoot highly enough!

Abels Bay, TAS

We found Rebecca after our last trimmer moved on. It was a blessing in disguise. We have 3 horses, one of them was a very flighty animal when having his feet trimmed. On the second visit, I watched her trim his feet as he slept through it all. From that moment, we knew we would be a regular customer. Always helpful, punctual and accommodating. First class service.

Rebecca is professional, reliable and most importantly of all, does an excellent job of trimming my herd, keeping my riding horses sound and continually working to improve the hoof health of my old geriatrics. She is knowledgeable and experienced, and capable of managing both maintenance and rehabilitation trims, as well as client education on hoof maintenance. She is highly recommended!
