This class is hands on! After reviewing the essentials of hoof anatomy, all participants can practice using various tools to assess and trim a cadaver hoof. We will also discuss best practices for preventing and treating hoof rot, and for the extra nerdy, I’ll dissect one of the hooves for an up close look at the inner workings of a cloven hoof.

Whole Horse Care Clinic
Hosted by: Bear Creek Farm @ 2030 Green Creek Dr., Columbus, NC 28722
September 20, 2025 from 10am-4pm
The “Whole Horse Care” class is my foundational class. It’s the big picture, the broad view of eight topics I’ve found to impact the horse’s health. While I don’t expect (or even believe) it’s possible to get an “A+” in all eight topics, I do believe that “what gets measured, gets managed”. This class provides a structure to understand, assess, and manage these eight topics so that you can feel confident in your choices as you track your progress. The eight topics are: hoofcare; diet & nutrition; movement & exercise; dental care; bodywork; veterinary & alternative healthcare; facility & environment; and relationship & connection.
