Hoof Anatomy Clinics
My Hoof Anatomy Clinics are geared towards owners that trim for themselves. This is a confidence building clinic. I find that most owners are timid trimmers. They tend to err on the side of caution and let the feet distort. See what the hoof is built around: - see the lamina and sole corium
- see the digital cushion and lateral cartilage
- look at sole thickness and concavity
- various coffin bones
- see how far back you can trim the hoof and not do permanent damage
- see how the heels and bars grow
Natural Hoof Trimming Clinics
My Natural Hoof Trimming Clinics teach owners the basics of trimming. I go over the mechanics of trimming and show many examples. For each hoof I go through my thought process and then demonstrate trimming: - give my impression of the hoof and the horse
- how I assess the hoof
- where I visualize the coffin bone placement
- what my priorities would be for each foot
- explain how and what I am trimming
- discuss any questions
