NEW DATES for autumn 2026 and spring 2027 announced!
Those who’ve had me working with their horses know that I always take the time to explain my approach and answer their questions. I really enjoy an engaged horse owner and love to take them with me on a hoof-nerding journey, and give them the tools and knowledge to better understand and care for their horse’s hooves.
So what’s better than explaining separately to each owner as I am working…. exactly: explaining to a whole group of owners, taking the time for it, sharing the learning with each other and really getting a feel for hoof health and maintenance!
Currently I’m offering at least these THREE courses: Hoof Theory, Horse Owner Hoof Maintenance (a 2 day course!), and Owner-Trimmer update.
Are you a horse owner/co-rider who wants to learn (more) about hooves, barefoot hoof care and housing systems for healthier hooves and healthier horses? Then the Hoof Theory course is for you!
Are you a horse owner with a barefoot horse that wants to get all of that knowledge and also learn how to do maintenance trimming on your own horse? Then the Horse Owner Hoof Maintenance is for you!
And are you a horse owner who is already trimming their own horse, or even a professional who wants to get some fresh input and specific tips? Then the Owner-Trimmer Update is for you! 😀
Hoof Theory
- Learn about hoof anatomy & function
- Recognize healthy and less healthy hooves
- Talk about cases and ideas for improvement
- More than ‘just’ hooves: Get inspired about the advantages of horse housing on a track system / paddock paradise
- Checking out my own horses’ hooves to practice what we’ve learned (no trimming)
- On these days, there will be the opportunity to come with your own questions and suggestions what to discuss in the group more than in the weekend course.
- Suitable for anyone interested in hooves, no pre-knowledge required, but could still be interesting if you know something already!

Also let me know if you are interested to join in any course but cannot make it on the planned dates. I’ll keep a list so you get an update when a new date is available.
Conditions on all courses:
– To reserve your spot in a course, you pay the whole amount with your application.
– If you need to cancel, you can find someone else to fill your spot. In case of cancellation 3 or more weeks ahead, you get half refunded. Closer to the course date, no refund will be given.
– If I unfortunately need to cancel, I’ll always try to reschedule the course. If you can’t join on the new date, you get a full refund or a reservation for a spot on a next date.
– Trimming happens at your own risk. I am there to guide you and show a safe work environment but I cannot be held responsible for any harm done to the horse/hooves or yourself during a course day.
– Please don’t come if you or your horse are sick; talk to me if you are in doubt 🙂
