Trim workshops are designed for the horse owner that not only has an interest in educating themselves about the phenominal foot of their equine, but also to save on the cost of trimming by doing it themselves.
 
Because my clientel base is small I am able to host workshops to keep everyone on track and up to date on, what I like to refer to as, The Super-Natural Horse World that has been widely revisited as of late.   Yahoo it's finally making a come back!
 
I emphatically emphasize that keeping things simple always builds confidence.
 
Workshops are generally scheduled 2 to 3 months apart.
 
Fees are $75.00
 
What happens in a workshop?
 
You get to actually trim on a real hoof, the advantage is it's a cadavor hoof.  These hooves come from rendering plants or disposal farms in which their previous owners have given consent understanding that their equine is contributing to the welfare of all equines. The cost of the cadavor foot is included in the workshop fee.
 
They generally last 4 to 5 hours.
 
It's a great way to keep in practice and compare notes and expand your knowledge base.
 
Announcements will be posted.  Typically I will send out e-mails to get a good idea of when most can attend with plenty of advance notice.
