Wolfgar Farm, Cheriton Bishop

A horse’s hoof is a highly sophisticated part of the horse’s anatomy having evolved to support and cushion the weight of the horse and to constantly replace any wear sustained during normal use. Looking after your horse’s hooves properly is therefore a critical part of keeping your horse fit, healthy and performing at his or her best.

This practical, interactive workshop is tailored at horse owners who would like to feel more confident about dealing with their horse’s feet and the issues which may arise.  Places are limited to 8 horse owners to ensure that plenty of opportunity is given to practice the skills learnt.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• Understand the anatomy of the foot and surrounding structures and how this relates to your horse;
• Be able to spot basic diseases of the foot;
• Understand what you can do to keep your horse’s feet healthy;
• Understand different types of shoes available and when they should be used;
• Know how to perform basic techniques such as applying a poultice.

The cost is £60.00 per person which includes refreshments and a comprehensive Foot Care fact book to take away and keep in the stable
