During the summer and fall we offer nationwide two-day hands-on hoof trimming instruction for horse owners who wish to learn the basics of common sense, bare hoof maintenance on their own horses.
These in-depth clinics will give horse owners an insight into the anatomy and function of a horses lower leg and hoof, teach the need to proper hoof form and how to recognize it. Participants will do a basic simple hoof trim using the Natural Balance method. Information for those clinics is found in the "clinics information" page.
