Introduction

These discursive online sessions are designed to start a national conversation on the miracle and structural masterpiece that is horses' hooves; continually renewing themselves and hopefully lasting a lifetime, complex, weight-bearing structures upon which the entire horse and equine industry depends. We will marvel and praise the hoof and look at the ways we in society can do better to understand both the mechanics and mechanisms, tools and trades and regulations and science that help us keep our horse's feet in great shape.

Three weeks, three online chats.  Chaired by Erik MacKechnie-Guire FBHS. Followed by a Q&A session.

Week 2 - Keeping Feet In Great Shape
Sarah Brown and Mark Johnson

• The farrier's decision-making process
• How to get the best out of a set of shoes
• Hoof boots – pros / cons / considerations
• Keeping your horse’s hooves healthy
• Remedial Shoeing
  

This session will touch on good nutrition, pasture management, your coach, what you do with your horse and asks if boots are a good alternative and who is the best person to help owners. Anatomy is so important; our feature farriers will give insight into balancing a foot and the decision they make when first confronted with a horse and their owner. How to do the best for the horse.

Open to all.
