WORKSHOP OUTLINE

Join the team of Wild About Hooves for a jam packed fun, educational and hands on workshop to learn all about natural hoof care and horse keeping.  This weekend aims to give participants a strong understanding of hoof trimming and the skills to maintain their own horses hooves, to recognise and treat common hoof pathologies, to recognise healthy hooves and unhealthy hooves, and the keys to success with happy, healthy, sound horses.  There are loads of practical sessions including trim demonstrations on a wide variety of hooves, cadaver leg dissections to understand the limb and hoof anatomy and cadaver trim tuition for students.  There is a big focus on hoof protection with a range of hoof boots on display and for fitting.

Please note – this is a two day workshop – either day can be attended but day one is a pre requisite for attending the advanced trimming on day two.  Our SA workshops are our favourite as we partner with hoof boot specialist and extraordinaire, Pauline Willams of HorseFX. Book your spot early!

Please note: Take home kit includes learn to trim DVD, information booklets, hoof boot information and hoof pick.

Trimming tools can be borrowed or purchased at the workshops.

This two day workshop can credit trainees as a mentorship for their certificate in equine hoof care and gives a great foundation to people keen to study hoof care.
