PRO-active Integrative Hoof Care—1 day Intensive Educational Event with Integrative Hoof Expert Beccy Smith BSc ADAEP EBW - Integrative Equine Podiatrist & Consultant

Prevention is always better than cure and this is now more relevant than ever with lameness on the increase! This course will help you become a more PRO-Active and responsive horse owner or professional by recognising indicators of a loss of health and balance in the hoof and also the posture!

This event will help you recognise healthy hoof and posture ideals, recognise what might be the most appropriate intervention(s) and learn the value of teamwork for promoting well-being and lasting resilience in the horses we all love - from the hoof up!

Registration closes 1 week before the event - Midnight Friday the 13th August.

This is an intensive and practical course & includes:

• Recognising ideal hoof morphology and posture
• Review of functional anatomy of the digit

• How to map the hoof and relate this to the internal foot and limb
• Selecting interventions for the individual horse

Beccy's approach to holistic horse and hoof care is unique and you won't learn her approach on other horse courses or events. Her approach is inspired by modern equine podiatry, barefoot and farriery industry leaders including KC LaPierre (The Institute of Applied Equine Podiatry), Yogi Sharp (The Equine Documentalist), Wayne Turner (Progressive Equine Services) and Daisey Bicking (Daisy Haven Farm) to name a few.
