Natural Hoof Care & Trimming Workshop Information
JEREMY FORD, a farrier of 16 years is now a professional natural hoof care practitioner. He runs his practice in Tasmania, Australia and has a number of successful thoroughbred racing stables as his clients. After being introduced to barefoot trimming he has hung up his hammer and stored the anvil to promote healthy sound metal free horses. His encounters with wild mustangs and brumbies were the major inspiration for the switch to barefoot. These horses have hooves hard, strong and able to cope with the hardest terrain. This natural world led him to study with the AANHCP (American Assoc of Natural Hoof Care Practitioners). Jeremy currently runs educational workshops on hoof care. He is a consultant to a number of professional performance horse owners and developing a rehabilitation centre for lame horses. He is principal lecturer in the Equine Hoof Care course run by the Australian government education institution.JEN CLINGLY is an advocate for bare hooves. She and her horse, Imaj Zamir, have become a high profile barefoot endurance team. She was the first in Australia to successfully complete a 100 mile endurance ride, and the first in Australia to win an endurance ride outright on a barefoot horse. Their successful string of placings in endurance has proven time and time again that shoes are not necessary, even for long distance. She is passionate on her quest to educate others of the benefits of not shoeing horses. Jen is currently working as a professional barefoot trimmer in Tasmania. She is a member of Tasmania’s Mounted Search and Rescue and lecturer with TAFE Tasmania in the trade certificate 3 “Equine Hoof Care” course. TIMETABLEMorning1. What is a barefoot trim?2.
