The 3 Day Clinics entitled "Natural Balance Hoof Care" consists of a slide presentation, lectures, demonstrations and hands-on work for farriers, barefoot trimmers and veterinarians. We think you will find them interesting and filled with useful information. What ever your involvment in horses or hoofcare may be (owner, trainer, farrier or veterinarian), you will gain an appreciation for 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 these 3 day clinics. Many people have attended 1 Day workshops or past clinics 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!
