3 days with the HMIS team immersed in learning about the natural hoof, diet and management

What's Included?

Overview of the workshop

Learn about Natural Horse & Hoof Care from experienced HMIS barefoot specialist instructors.

Let them guide you over the course of 3 days on how to achieve optimum health for your horse and their hooves, through diet, management, basic trimming and horse handling.

By the end of the 3 days you’ll know:

what is meant by a species-specific diet
what constitutes an equine healthy hoof and how to recognise hoof pathologies
the anatomy of the lower leg
how to maintain your own horse’s hooves in-between professional trims

					I have been around horses most of my life. No other organisation, vet, “foot specialist” or other “equine professional” hasn’t been able to give me a fraction of what you... read more learn on this 3 day course. 
For me personally it has literally changed my life as I was also given the opportunity to join other students from HMI school in their 2 year journey to become barefoot specialists. 
(Shock my husband that after 3 days I want to change my career) 🤭😂

I highly recommend. It is a great experience!
Every horse owner should attend this 3 day course to understand what is natural for the horse and therefore get out of that “trap” of doing unnatural things that only lead to unhealthy and unhappy horses. 🐴🐎🦄

					I attended a 3 day foundation course, it has transformed the way that I keep my horses and my relationship with them.

The course is so much more than learning to... read more trim.

The insight into how the horse evolved, the discussion about diet and maintenance of the horse, the in depth understanding of the hoof structure and function.

It is worth every penny, even if you have no desire to do your own hoof care by maintaining hooves between professional trims, the knowledge that you gain will be invaluable and your horse thank you for it. 🙂

					I just attended my second 3 day foundation course and this course just blows my mind. Every horse owner should go on it. The science behind what Lindsay and Garry... read more do, the myths they bust and how to keep horses is just incredibly simple. You also make a lot of friends and have lots of laughs. Best horse course ever.

Be informed

This workshop will give you all the education and information you need to be able to have meaningful conversations with your vet, farrier/trimmer, body workers, and extended equine team.

The right trim

This workshop will show you the correct trim through theory and hands on cadaver trimming, in a safe and well controlled environment. This will enable you to maintain your horse’s hooves in-between pro trims.

Hoof problems

We encourage owners to come to the workshop with photos and videos of their own horses, so that we can advise you on the best way forward to help heal any problems your horse is facing – including laminitis and navicular.
