One hundred percent of proceeds will go to Dr Sykes’s continued research to improve the welfare of all horses!

Questions submitted in advance will receive priority during our Q & A time.

A wonderful companion to this class isThe Humble Hoof Rehab Guide: A Progress JournalBy Alicia Harlov

This class explores the wear patterns on various horses.

• What is normal wear for the individual?

• What a change in wear pattern can mean

• When to correct certain hoof confirmations

•  Man made vs. natural wear

We will watch movement to detect rhythm and foot fall sequence. 
*This class is required for certification 

Fee for this class is 200.00
A 50.00 non refundable deposit is required to hold a spot.
All classes must be paid in full 14 days prior to class. 

Students will start with a cadaver leg to trim. They will use what they were taught in the beginner class to troubleshoot and to reason what needs to be done to the  hoof they have to trim. After all students are finished they will have the opportunity to describe their trim and reasons for the decisions made to their fellow participants. ( a great opportunity to improve on client relations).
After lunch we will begin demonstrations with a live horse.
Our focus on this portion is to demonstrate proper tool handling while under a horse and ergonomically correct and safe ways to trim. 
Prerequisite for this class is the Beginner trimming and ETEH class.   
Cost for this class is 250.00  for full participants
125.00 for auditors 

A 50.00 non refundable deposit is required to hold a spot.
All classes must be paid in full 14 days prior to class. 

Instructor starts with a complete discussion of all the parts of the hoof and their function.
Each participating student will have a cadaver leg, which they will assess and map before trimming.
The trimming will begin step by step applying the correct trim to the individual hoof, with focus on proper tool handling and techniques used in the field. 
After the students have finished their trim, they will be given the opportunity to explore their hoof, to identify vital structures and the perimeters of which one must stay within to achieve optimal soundness.
We will finish with a dissection to further explore the anatomy of the distal limb.


Students are encouraged to read
