I'm a founding member of PHCP, a mentor, and sit on the evaluation and education committees. I'm very proud of our training program and our member trimmers, but I've met many farriers who also do great barefoot trims. Their trims may not be finished exactly the way we do ours, but the horses are sound and their feet look good.
Some farriers trim as if they are about to set a shoe and take way too much off the foot, but I've also seen some horrible "barefoot" trims done by self proclaimed "natural trimmers" who should never hold a trimming tool.
A farrier who comes highly recommended by an owner of barefoot horses is certainly someone that I would consider meeting.
