Join us for a hands-on clinic designed to introduce horse owners to the basics of barefoot hoof trimming, and beyond. This class builds on the concepts introduced in the HTHO 101 clinics, but is still suitable for beginners as we’ll start off with a review.

Whether your goal is to touch up trims between visits from a professional or to take over hoof care duties for your herd entirely, this clinic will get you started off on the right foot – er, hoof!

Not quite ready to pick up a rasp yet? Audit the clinic to become a more educated consumer of hoof care services – learn about healthy hoof anatomy and function, how to decide when your horse needs a hoof care, and how to recognize a balanced hoof.

What will you learn in this clinic?

We’ll cover basic hoof anatomy, procedure and techniques for trimming the hoof wall using a hoof rasp and hoof stand, and how to check hoof balance using the sole as a guide. In addition to a review of the concepts from the HTHO 101 class, we’ll cover trimming with nippers, knife, and angle grinders – as well as more strategies for checking hoof balance and some discussion of trimming problem hoofs. More details in the Clinic Information Packet.
