Natural Hoof Care Clinic
This training is for anyone wishing to learn to recognise unhealthy hooves and how the natural trim is applied

• Learn to recognise excess hoof horn that can cause hoof distortion and lameness
• Learn the importance of heel first landing and health of the frog and digital cushion
• Learn how horses with navicular, founder, pedal osteitis and a host of domestic lameness issues can be helped through natural horse/hoof care
• Learn the essential guidelines for the rehabilitation period when horses go from shoes to barefoot
• Learn about the impact un-natural diet and living conditions can have on the hoof and the horse’s health
• Learn what tools and equipment you will need, their use, their care and where to buy them

Trimmers with some experience will gain enough knowledge to change their trim style if necessary. Beginners will have time to absorb the information, buy the tools that they need and when they feel confident to learn how to trim their own horses I will return at a later date for one on one trim training session.

One-On-One Trim Session (Half or Full Day)
Recommended for people wishing to trim their own horses only. Anyone wishing to learn to trim other people’s horses are encouraged to join a recognized certification program such as the Equine Sciences Academy or CAHET.
