Barefoot Trimmer (Horses) Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past few years working with horses and sheep across varied properties, turning up daily with a calm, methodical approach. In that time I’ve trimmed and managed hooves for around 1500 head and implemented welfare checks that caught issues before they became illnesses. At [Company Name], I’d bring hands-on experience with hoof care, vaccination administration, and daily livestock welfare to support your patch of country work with steady, practical routines. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of duties that come with barefoot trimming and animal husbandry. Hoof trimming and foot care are my core, but I also handle lamb marking, drenching, and vaccination visits, and I keep feeding and watering routines on track. I pay attention to condition scoring, early signs of lameness, and welfare program compliance, and I’m able to document inspections clearly for your team. A recent shift involved a mixed property where I helped reduce recurrent foot issues by introducing a quarterly hoof check and a routine for post-movement inspection. We saw fewer lameness cases and the team could focus on herd health more quickly. I’ve learned to communicate findings to managers and keep wagons and paddocks organised so tasks stay on schedule. I’m available to discuss how I can fit into your team at [Company Name]. If you’d like to chat, I’m happy to come by or jump on a call to go over how I can support your stock health and welfare program. Kind regards, [Your Name]
