I've kind of trimmed my own horse- got in a horse that had a really old injury that made him hard to get to lift one hind foot for the farrier, so they just hadn't bothered to do that foot for like... forever. I got some of the guys to help me put him up against a wall and support him so he could lean (he wasn't bad at all,just really stiff and had to doit at an awkward angle) and I trimmed the ragged edges off and rasped it around smooth. Not by any means professional, and I wouldn't do it under any other circumstances, but it at least gave him a somewhat normal looking hoof and got rid of the worst of the really awful chips and cracks.

Never have I ever- ridden a horse on the beach.
