Standard Workshop Summary: After registration where participants are issued with a booklet, there is a two hour PowerPoint theory session (with coffee break in the middle). This is followed by a step by step demonstration of trimming and tool use on a cadaver leg. After Lunch there is a demonstration on horse handling for trimming with emphasis on safety and making the job easier. Students then trim under full supervision. Full participants then go to work on their own horse's feet under supervision (Auditors watch and may help hold horses). The day is rounded out with a discussion of optimising barefoot performance (including a hoof boot demonstration) and a valuable lesson on functional anatomy. |
