Reading Pete Ramey's

Is highly recommended
Sometimes the hooves may get smelly. If you are sensitive to this bring vicks for your nose.

Important notice:
This class is set up to help horse owners who want to trim their own horses proceed with more confidence. It also helps horse owners who do not wish to trim their own horses, but would like to understand the hoof mechanism better. If you choose to do this professionally it is strongly recommended that you attend a full course of education and or certification program for natural trimming.
