Join Beccy Smith, and fellow equine professional Gloria Garland L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. & Ch. from Whole Horse Herbs TM and Crane Valley Acupuncture during a 2 hour online equine podiatry consult featuring Gloria's 7 year old Morgan gelding Noche.
Noche has uneven front hooves and a history of tripping. Gloria describes Noche as 'less down hill' as he was as a 5 year old and by using HoofmApp and following our educational material, has been trimming Noche herself (and doing a fantastic job!) and is improving his balance, posture and gait. In this recording, we will assess Noche's hoof morphology and posture, and provide trimming advice to optimise balance and neuromuscular health.
Gloria is an experienced equine and human therapist and herbalist, and author of Equine Acupressure Therapeutics and a contributing author for a number of equine related journals. Gloria's previous trimmer was not willing to assess Noche objectively and trim to improve his posture and hoof morphology and I believe Gloria is an inspiration to anyone looking to improve their horses well-being and longevity and take compassionate action towards taking more responsibility for their everyday hoof care and well-being.
Join us in this recording of a real life online consult where Beccy will share her knowledge on
• Detailed assessment of a 7 year old Morgan gelding with less than ideal hoof morphology
• Review of the scientific evidence relating to hoof balance, posture and lameness risks
• Review of what constitutes healthy hoof morphology, balance, posture and why
• A detailed assessment of the HoofmApp mark ups and what they mean for this horse
• What trimming approach is recommended to restore healthy morphology and why
• What other integrative measures might be considered during rehab and why
• Top tips throughout to help promote healthy horses from the hoof, up, from Beccy AND Gloria!
We are excited to support Gloria and look forward to learning more about Noche's hoof rehab. We also plan to consult with Gloria for one of our horses and plan to share this with you all in a future webinar, so please look out for this!
You can learn more about Gloria and her services at www.wholehorse.com and www.cvacupuncture.com
