This course is ideal for all horse owners, and especially those with barefoot horses and ponies.
Through clear images and explanations, you learn to assess a hoof and recognise common hoof morphologies such as flares, long toes and laminitis.
The course has been created by three long-standing barefoot hoof care professionals: Satu and Jiri Vainikka from Finland, and Minna Sarkkinen from Australia.
Read more about the course teachers in the About section.
This course will teach you:
- Why it's important to be able to assess a hoof and recognise hoof issues
- What the most common hoof issues are and why they often go unnoticed
- Things to consider when choosing a hoof care professional
In addition, throughout the course we show you how hoof boots fit these different kinds of hooves. We use Flex Boots in our examples, giving you valuable insight into what to take into consideration when fitting hoof boots for your horse or pony.
"Being able to examine my horse's hooves and understand what is happening with them is great! Now I can keep an eye on things and see if the hooves are improving. And recognise straight away if something is going wrong, which is so important to me."
