I still have places left on the following workshop:
The Barefoot Horse, an Owners' Workshop
with Richard Vialls, Equine Podiatrist
Location: Anglesey, North Wales
Dates: 21st-22nd April 2007
The workshop is aimed at owners of horses that are currently barefoot as well as owners considering removing their horses’ shoes. It aims to provide a good understanding of the issues surrounding working a horse without shoes, the problems that can occur and how to avoid them. The course will involve a mixture of theory and practical work but does not teach any trimming. Owners should gain a good grounding in the issues surrounding keeping barefoot horses, whether going barefoot will suit their horses and what is involved in having a barefoot horse.
This two day workshop will cover:
structures of the foot
how the foot works
conditioning for barefoot soundness
types of hoof boots and their uses
infection control
trotting up and gait analysis
understanding hoof assessments
aims of a good barefoot trim
case studies
causes of common hoof problems
question and answer session
Cost per person: £150 to include tuition, lunch and refreshments on both days.
For further details or to book, you can contact me on 07715 502320, or email richard(at)equinepodiatry.co.uk
