Register and Pay
Day One- Cadaver Trim Clinic : $250.00 One full day of trimming and dissection of cadaver horse hooves. This day will give new trimmers hands on experience time with tools and provide time to ask questions about trimming. It will provide more hands on trimming experience and critique time for those that are already trimming. We will also dissect a few hooves to "see" internal structure and how it relates to what we do in the trimming process on the outside of the hoof.
If time is available we can test fit boots of several types to cadaver hooves to aid in learning correct boot fitting.
This clinic will require a minimum of 10 attendees to continue as scheduled.
Day Two- Consultation with your horse : $50.00 for a 20 minute evaluation of a horse that you trim. The focus of the consultation is for the purpose of critiquing the trimming being done on the horse for those owners doing their own trimming.
For those that do not bring a horse it is the opportunity to hear the evaluations and see the issues to be dealt with on a live horse.
The number of horses to be evaluated will be limited, So please register early.
What to bring : Don't forget all your trimming tools !!!! Bring your own Chair and Bag Lunch plus something to drink.
What I will provide : Bio-hazard suites to prevent soiling of clothing during trimming and dissection. Scalpels, Saw, Cadaver hooves, latex gloves, disinfectant
I reserve the right to deny evaluation of any horse.
If the horse does not stand well once evaluation has begun preventing evaluation you forfeit all fees paid for evaluation time.
Horses coming onto the property are required to have negative coggins copies.
I will require a minimum of 10 participants for the trim and dissection clinic.
I also reserve the right to cancel this clinic at any time.
Reserved payments will be returned if this should occur.
