Welcome to our blog 

Join Beccy Smith, and fellow compassionate equestrian and educator Dr Emma-louise Emerson from The Equican Academy during our 1 hour 47 minute interview with a presentation on our favourite topic - welfare-focused, evidence-based approach to hoof care!

Join Beccy Smith, and compassionate owner Vika in this detailed 2 part online equine podiatry consult recording featuring Vika's 10 year old Zangersheide warmblood gelding Cosmos, who experiences 2 weeks of lameness after every trim, following a natural barefoot trim method.

Here you will learn via objective evidence, the assessment, impact of the implementation of a reductive and additive intervention and hoof care recommendations aimed at improving posture, development, hoof balance, comfort and welfare.

In the video, you will learn how I assess, sole map, trim and carefully address dorso-palmar and medial lateral distortion and contracted heels while maintaining optimum comfort, and trim in neutral posture to facilitate the release of fascial tension while trimming.

Join Beccy Smith in #2 in our hoof trimming webinar series where I share with you 2-part webinar video recordings with fundamental info on objective assessment, documentation, identifying hoof types using Daisy Bicking's system taught at the International School of Integrative Hoof Care, and assess post trim documentation, plus watch trimming videos featuring Daffy, a horse with metabolic disease and chronic caudal hoof collapse (Type 3 - long toe, low heel).

Watch Beccy Smith create a custom pad using special 2-part DIM (dental impression material) and bandage a hoof to assist with 24/7 hoof boot fit in a horse which previously had laminitis. This was recorded during a session with a client using a GoPro head cam!
