If you have doubts about heel and toe length, are unsure which references to use when trimming the wall, or feel that each hoof is a world of its own with no clear parameters, this course provides a stable framework to support better, more consistent decisions—while still respecting each horse as an individual.
✅ This course is for you if…
- ...you work with horses and want a clear, simple, and well-grounded method.
- ...you’re looking to build a solid theoretical foundation before moving into hands-on training.
🚫 This course is not for you if…
- ...ou’re looking for magic formulas or shortcuts.
- ...You want to modify the horse to fit personal preferences rather than functional needs.
🏆 By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Read the heels using functional, fully applicable references.
- Detect dorsal/palmar and medial/lateral imbalances.
- Understand the role of the functional sole, heel stress points, wall bevel, and the warping effect.
- Apply stabilisations and corrections with greater clarity, confidence, and consistency.
⚠️ The online THEORETICAL course is the necessary basis before getting the practical INITIATION course.

Animal welfare as the basis of our principles
We maintain that the horse, after each shoeing or trimming, should walk the same or better than before.
Accuracy in the work without straying from simplicity
Our schools know that every excess or lack of material in the hoof has repercussions on the horse's upper body.
Nature and movement as our teachers
We strive to make natural wear under ideal conditions our primary reference when trimming a hoof.
Need and desire
The needs of the foot take precedence over our desires.
Function
We respect the function of each structure, both when shod and barefoot.
Wear
We reproduce the wear pattern by imitating nature in ideal conditions.
