No matter what discipline interests you or whether you show or not, one thing brings us all together. Our horses! We want the best for them so that they can live long, healthy and productive lives. Over the last decade or so understanding of how nutrition, environment, hoof form and training methods affect the horse's overall wellbeing has increased dramatically. We help horse owners who want to leverage this knowledge and give their horses a healthier, happier life.
The Nexus Center is a natural care facility which provides barefoot hoof trimming, nutritional counciling, lameness consultation and rehabilitiation services as well as lessons and training in dressage and horsemanship. We occasionally have nicely started barefoot horses for sale to approved homes.
The Center is located in Greeneville, Tennessee. Nestled in the foothills
of the Appalacian Mountains we have a nearly perfect climate with
temperate summers and mild winters. We are ideally suited to provide the kind of movement over varied terrain that horses in rehab require. All of our horses (including the school horses) live in mixed group herds
24x7 with plenty of grazing as well as shelter. In addition to high performance barefoot hoof care, each horse has a customized feeding and vitamin/mineral supplementation program designed by Lauren Gruber for optimal hoof and body health. The net result is happy, healthy, sound barefoot horses.
Our school horses and lesson program are under the direction of Sharon Foley. Our system is a convergence of classical dressage training to develop balance and suppleness, plus traditional horsemanship in the spirit of Bill Dorrance, and positive training techniques drawn from clicker training. Our experience has shown that these principles apply no matter what kind of saddle you ride in.
