Beginner-to-Intermediate Online Course for Horse Owners Who Want the Knowledge, Confidence & Support to Trim Their Own Horse’s Hooves
Designed Specifically for Horse Owners Who Want to Take Control of Their Horse’s Hoof Care
If you want to help your horse live a more sound, comfortable, and pain-free life but trimming feels intimidating, confusing, or overwhelming, then this course was created for you.
You do not need to be a professional.
You just need clear guidance, correct knowledge, and supportive mentorship.
Gain Knowledge. Gain Confidence. Help Your Horse Thrive.
Confidence doesn’t appear magically—it grows from understanding.
When you learn what to do and why it matters, fear dissolves, clarity increases, and your ability to support your horse improves dramatically.
Understand the Deeper Hoof Connection
This course goes far beyond basic hoof anatomy.
You’ll learn how the visible hoof capsule interacts with the internal soft tissues, and how every trim, every step, and every lifestyle factor affects the entire system. This deeper understanding is what enables safe, effective, confidence-driven trimming.
Personal Guidance on Every Step of Your Journey
You won’t be learning alone.
You’ll receive support, mentorship, and feedback from someone who has walked this exact path—who knows the doubts, the fears, the mistakes, and the profound transformation that comes with learning to trim confidently.
Help Your Horse Become Sound, Happy & Pain-Free
With the right knowledge, you can dramatically improve your horse’s comfort, soundness, and long-term hoof health—with your own hands.
Does This Sound Familiar?
* Your horse’s hooves never seem to improve, no matter who trims them.
* Your horse is still sensitive on gravel or hard ground.
* Professional trimming has become too expensive—or you struggle to find a reliable trimmer in your area.
* You want to learn, but trimming feels scary and overwhelming.
* You simply want your horse to be comfortable, happy, and pain-free.
You’re not alone—and yes, you absolutely can do this.
Imagine if…
* Your horse walked comfortably—even barefoot—on gravel.
* You understood exactly what to trim and why.
* You felt confident and in control of your horse’s hoof health.
* You could safely maintain trims between professional visits—or take over fully when needed.
This isn’t wishful thinking.
It’s a practical skill set you can learn.
A Personal Story: I Have Been Exactly Where You Are
For years, I believed I wasn’t capable of trimming correctly. I avoided hoof care entirely—and my horses suffered for it.
They developed chronic laminitis, and only later did I learn that the trimming approach I’d been taught was contributing to their pain.
I had to start over from the beginning.
I studied anatomy, the internal foot, soft tissue dynamics, and worked with mentors who helped rebuild my understanding—and my confidence.
That journey didn’t just change my horses.
It changed my life.
Today, I teach horse owners around the world to trim with confidence—so they don’t have to experience the heartbreak, mistakes, or guesswork I did.
This course exists to give you the knowledge I wish I’d had from the start.
