Soul to Sole founder Chéri McPhillamey was raised on a ranch in Northern Alberta where very traditional values and a solid work ethic were instilled in her from a young age. Her father was a 2nd generation farrier and she grew up hearing the importance of foot care for horses since horses were commonly used to work at their ranch.  Chéri witnessed her father at horse sales buying “washed-up, broken” horses that were lame and no longer good enough in the eyes of other farmers. He’d bring them home to work on their hooves, while both her mother and father gently trained them, regaining trust and restoring them back into health.  Her father always reminded Chéri the importance of taking good care of your horse from the feet up because “their feet are their foundation to good health”.
