Description

The online foundation horse & hoof care course can be studied at home using our dedicated learning platform via your browser on any device. It can also be studied via our mobile app on iOS and Android. The course covers the foundation of natural horse & hoof care, from diet to management, to learning the naturally balanced trim in order to maintain your own horse’s hooves.

• Part 1 – Self- study online lessons with additional live group and private sessions with an HMIS instructor

What you will need for the practical trimming sessions – PART 2 ONLY:

• • • Basic trimming tools  – hoof pick, rasp, nippers, hoof knife
    • Protective clothing – eg. gloves, chaps or over-trousers (waterproof trousers work well)
    • 2 cadaver (dead horse) legs – from the knee or hock down – we can advise on sourcing these

A certificate is awarded on successful completion of the full foundation course (both parts).
