Prevention is always better than cure and this is now more relevant than ever with lameness on the increase! This course will help you become a more PRO-Active and responsive horse owner or professional by recognising indicators of a loss of health and balance in the hoof and also the posture!

Beccy's approach to holistic horse and hoof care is unique and you won't learn her approach on other horse courses or events.
