The 1 Day Workshops entitled "Natural Balance Hoof Care" consists of a slide presentation, lecture and demonstrations that are interesting and filled with useful information. Whatever your involvment in horses or hoofcare may be (owner, trainer, farrier, barefoot trimmers or veterinarian), you will come away with an appreciation of the information supplied by the wild horses and an understanding of the Natural Balance Principles of Hoofcare. There is a lot of information packed into this 4 to 5 hours workshop. Many people have attended several workshops and have come away with something new each time. Given the opportunity, anyone who has an interest in the soundness of horses should try to attend one of these workshops...your horses will thank you!
