More horses than ever are suffering from hoof-related issues—Navicular, Laminitis, Insulin Resistance, and more. But did you know that many of these conditions can be prevented or improved through proper, natural hoof care?
This hands-on clinic is designed for both new and seasoned horse owners who want to:
✅ Learn what healthy hooves really look like
✅ Understand subtle but critical trimming methods
✅ Reduce vet bills and prevent chronic lameness
✅ Support soundness using nature’s original blueprint
👉 You don’t have to trim to benefit!
We’ll teach you how to evaluate your farrier or trimmer so you can confidently support your horse’s hoof health.
