This hoof trimming clinic offers you the chance to learn about hooves and barefoot hoof care, including how to perform a maintenance trim on your own horse.
More and more horses are experiencing hoof problems, many of which could be avoided by following a more natural approach to hoof care. Know Hoof, Know Horse has never been more true.
Navicular, Laminitis and Insulin Resistance are on the increase but this clinic will teach you many ways to lower the risks (and lessen vet bills!) for your horse. Correct hoof form, based on Mother Nature's design, goes a long way towards this. Subtle differences in trim methods can help restore hooves to their original healthy state.
You will also learn the best methods of horse keeping that allow your horse to be healthier, happier and fitter.
