Event Description
Curious about Integrative Hoofcare? Join us for a day of discussion and live horse demos about helping the hoof and horse using the Postural Model of Integrative Hoofcare™.
Learn how making specific hoofcare choices for the horse can greatly reduce stress on the horse and minimize detrimental compensation for domestication throughout it's lifetime, leading to sounder, healthier horses.
Morning: Lecture, discussion, and Q&A
Afternoon: Live horse demonstrations applying the concepts discussed in the morning. Demo #1: Horse and hoof assessment, making an integrative hoofcare plan, hoof trimming and application of glue-on composite shoes to help the horse. Demo #2: the same process using metal shoes as the material of choice to help the horse.
**Stay for the optional Forge Night with experienced farriers who can help you learn to work around the forge!**
It's going to be an exciting event! See you there!
