Hoofmatters Trimming Workshop

A Two Day Workshop for Owners and Professionals in the Industry
Presented by Hoofmatters - Megan Matters

Megan is a full time trimmer and rehabilitation farrier. Her passion is creating balance for the horse and its feet for both postural and bio-mechanical comfort.
The workshop is held over 2 days, and you have the option of participating in either the first day only or both days.

Day 1: Interactive theory focusing comprehensively into the anatomy of the lower limb of the horse with a strong emphasis on understanding how to recognise what is not "normal" in the hoof, the legs and the posture.

Day 2: Primarily hands on!
Firstly: with mapping and trimming cadaver feet so you can focus on learning the skill without the pressure of a live horse. Following this, you will work together in groups mapping and trimming your own horses with an emphasis on "Do not harm". We provide detailed "how to" hand out notes and are close at hand to supervise, advise and guide you through this process.
