This three day clinic fulfills the Anatomy, Trimming, and Hoof Protection clinic requirement for PHCP students.
Days 1 and 2 will cover anatomy and trimming.
Day 3 will cover hoof protection and shoe removal.
Read through the PHCP Introduction to Equine Diet and Lifestyle.
Study the PHCP Introduction to Equine Hoof Anatomy.
Visit Anatomy of the Equine to get familiar with the distal limb anatomy before you attend the clinic. Consider purchasing online coursework and ebooks.
If possible, students should bring their own tools (gloves, apron, nippers, rasp, knife, hoof pick, shoe pullers, and stand) but we will have some to share.
If you have a cadaver leg of your own that you would like to dissect, please let us know and bring it along. Cadaver legs are getting hard to come by and can be quite expensive, so if you have access to some we would be grateful.
Lunch is included.
Jeannean Mercuri, The Hoof Fairy, lives on Long Island where she operates her hoof care business. She began her journey into barefoot trimming in 2001 and joined PHCP in 2009, becoming a Practitioner, Mentor, and Clinician as well as the Director of Education (until 2023). Teaching and continuing her own education are Jeannean’s passions. Years of working with Gerdas Equine Rescue in Vermont, and referrals from local veterinarians on the tough founder cases, have given her extensive experience with hoof protection in rehab work as well as for clients needing hoof boots for everyday riding.
