Outcome:
NHC: To give each attendee practical, hands-on use of tools and techniques in the trimming of healthy equine hooves and to facilitate the "feel" of the hoof and its individual need. This workshop will facilitate the trimmer who is focused on self-care for his or her horse and a pre-requisite to further training for the hoofcare career minded.
PPT: Each participant will go home with a solid understanding of primary equine behaviors as they relate to the horse/human relationship along with effective and dynamic skills to enhance the communications with his or her horse enabling a positive, cooperative and willing partnership with the horse. HIGHLY effective with spooky, balky, 'disrespectful', innattentive horses.
