Stepping Stone Equine Hoof Care and Hoof Nation barefoot trimming are proud to present "Learn to trim YOUR horse" workshops in 2025.
With a notable shortage of qualified Hoof care professionals in our state, we are looking to empower horse owners. Our boutique workshops will offer a customised trimming plan for YOUR own horse, with details specific to your horses needs and comfort. No cookie cutter, one size fits all approach here, but hands on one on one learning with leading industry professionals tailored to you and your horse.
With our workshops structured to provide you with ongoing support and mentorship, this will take part over three separate sessions set 4-5 weeks apart with each one building on the last. Our workshops are designed for small groups to ensure that all participants have adequate one on one learning.
The structure of our workshops will cover everything you need to confidently and safely trim your horse solo. The initial workshop will set you up with a trimming plan to start your learning journey with your horse, followed by two further half day mentor sessions to assist with trouble shooting and further developing trimming technique once you have had some time to learn your horse's trim.
