Most horse owners judge hooves by what they can see on the outside.
But the hoof is far more than a hard shell—it is a direct reflection of the internal structures, the soft tissue, the body’s balance, and even the lifestyle your horse lives every day.

This course teaches you how to understand hooves from the inside out so you can protect your horse from pain long before it ever becomes a problem.

See the Full Picture. Understand the Real Cause.

Hoof health is not just about anatomy—it’s about connection.

What happens in the hoof affects the entire horse, and what happens in the horse shapes every part of the hoof.

  • Nutrition influences horn quality

  • Muscle balance shapes hoof biomechanics

  • Movement affects circulation

  • Environment shapes resilience

  • Trimming interacts with internal tissues

  • Conformation determines load

When you learn to see these relationships clearly, you gain the power to support your horse with confidence—not guesswork.

A Holistic Approach to Hoof Care

This course brings together all the factors that shape hoof health:

  • Diet & nutrient balance

  • Movement patterns & muscle function

  • Environment & lifestyle

  • Conformation

  • Trimming styles

  • Soft tissue dynamics

  • Training influences

  • And more

With this whole-horse perspective, you finally understand hoof health in a way that allows you to prevent pain, not just respond to it.

Is This You?

If any of these feel familiar, this course was made for you:

  • You’re unsure how to tell a painful hoof from a healthy one

  • You feel overwhelmed by conflicting hoof-care advice

  • You’d like to speak confidently with your farrier or trimmer

  • Your horse has gone lame unexpectedly, and you wish you’d seen the early signs

  • You want to prevent issues before they become crises

  • You want the peace of mind that you’re doing the absolute best for your horse

If so—this course will be a turning point in your horse’s health journey


Accessible Education for Every Horse Owner

Because knowledge should be available to everyone, this course is offered on a Pay-What-You-Want basis during select times of the year.

  • Full course value: $169

  • Minimum contribution: $118.30

  • You save 30%

  • And if you choose to pay more, you help support education for the larger horse community.


Prevention Is Kinder, Easier, and Far More Effective Than Cure

This course is designed to help you stop problems before they start by recognising early signs, understanding the whole horse, and building your confidence.

And it goes far beyond traditional hoof education.


A complete system for understanding hoof health on every level.

Inside the course, you’ll learn how the following shape your horse’s hooves:

  • Conformation

  • Muscle development & movement patterns

  • Nutrition

  • Environment

  • Training and workload

  • Soft tissue biomechanics

  • Internal structures

  • And how all of these elements work together

When you understand this, you can finally break the cycle of recurring lameness, discomfort, and chronic hoof issues—and create long-term soundness.


Don't make the same mistake I did...

Hoof problems rarely show themselves loudly. They build slowly, quietly—until the day everything changes.

I believed my own horses were “fine”… until they weren’t. Mine developed chronic laminitis and came heartbreakingly close to being put down. Looking back, I wish I had known more. I wish I had recognised the signs. I wish I had understood how much of their pain could have been prevented. That experience changed the course of my life—and inspired me to create this course so you never have to face the same heartbreak.
Prevent these problems from arising
