Imagine standing next to your horse without even needing to hold onto the halter or worrying about the farrier being kicked. Imagine a horse who willingly picks up his hooves without any struggle, a horse who picks up his hooves with the touch of a hand, one who stands calmly while you clean out the hooves or while the farrier trims the hooves.

This is all achievable without force and without yanking the halter and starts with understanding the reason behind these behaviours, and then gaining the knowledge to overcome them. 

Within this Masterclass, you will learn how to prevent or overcome many obstacles when it comes to hoof handling and see hoof handling through the perspective of a trainer, trimmer and massage therapist. 

This Masterclass is specifically designed to help horses who has already been trained to pick up hooves but isn’t cooperating as you would like.

With this Masterclass, you can:

• Learn the reasons why many horses don’t want to pick up their hooves, even when they know how to
• Understand the importance of positive motivation during corrective trimming
• Discover how you can have a willing horse even when their bodies and hooves are sore while still remaining ethical
• Learn how to help your horse accept the farrier and make positive associations with the trimmer
• Gain the knowledge to implement training that will help you overcome hoof handling related obstacles
• Or how to adjust the training for hoof handling now, to prevent these obstacles from arising in the first place

If you have a horse who:

1. Refuses to pick up his hooves even though he was trained to do so
2. Doesn’t want to stand still for hoof trimming
3. You have to lean against to pick up a hoof
4. Has to be held or tied up before picking up hooves can be attempted

Then this masterclass is specifically for you!
