Join me, Beccy Smith, founder and CEO of Holistic Equine and farrier Yogi Sharp from The Equine Documentalist in this ground-breaking 3 hour webinar all about the intricate and complex relationship between the hoof, the neuro-muscular system, the autonomic nervous system and its relationship to the rest of the horse.
This webinar is jam-packed with practical ways to support horses' well-being and improve the welfare of our equine friends, all from my first-hand experience of rehabbing and maintaining horses with this unique perspective.
Yogi and I outline the nervous system and connection to the hoof, while I introduce the polyvagal theory, stress and how this relates to the compassionate and empathetic care of horses.
I share my thoughts on the problems with the hoof care industry and offer an alternative approach and definition of integrative equine podiatry or hoof care. I use examples and illustrations throughout.
I also raise questions about the standards of horse care and I discuss how we might measure welfare objectively, placing the emphasis always on assessing horses and welfare standards objectively, and not by assessing the environment they live in.
This is a webinar you simply cannot afford to miss if you are concerned with promoting optimum health in horses!
