Trimming from an inner foot perspective
Online course
Do you know you can help your horse be sound, happy, and pain-free while you are saving money? Using this course you will discover a different way of looking at hooves, learn everything you need to know about it inside & out, and even learn how to do a basic trim on your own horse's hooves.
Help your horse be sound, happy, and pain-free to unlock his hidden potential through proper hoof care
Do you ever wonder why your horse's hooves just aren't getting better, or why he isn't sound over gravel? Do you find it frustrating not having the money to pay the professionals, or not being able to locate anyone to help you in the first place? Or you just feel that you don't have enough knowledge to know which trimmer to hire, and whether your horse's hooves are in pain or not? It's completely natural to feel overwhelmed with all the information out there, while you just want your horse to be happy.
I've been where you are now, and for many years thought that I was not capable of doing a good job trimming hooves. I left hoof care completely alone and my horses suffered because of it. When I finally learned how to take care of my horse's hooves, they developed chronic laminitis, and later on, I found out that I was taught incorrectly and that how I was trimming was contributing to their pain. I was devastated and needed to start from scratch. I then started learning the anatomy of hooves, started learning about the inner foot, and had mentors to help me every step of the way, and in the process, I helped my horses become sound and pain-free once again. Now I help people from across the globe gain the knowledge to help their own horses, whether that is in identifying the problems in the hoof or helping them take trimming on themselves.
It's surely not an easy job BUT YOU CAN DO IT! It all starts with knowledge and practice. And that's why I developed this course for you.
Imagine helping your horse be sound while being barefoot, even over gravel. Imagine finally having enough knowledge to confidently decide which professional to hire or even how to do it yourself. Imagine having the freedom knowing your horse's hooves are properly taken care of.
This course walks you through some of the basics and more advance aspects of hoofcare. I learned so much valuable information from Louisa. I would definitely recommend others to take this course!
