Christina Agosto

Practitioner, Mentor

I have been a hoof care practitioner since 2012 after completing Ida Hammer’s Whole Horse Hoof Care Certification program. I then completed my PHCP certification in 2017 and achieved mentor status in 2019. I am always continuing my education through PHCP webinars and clinics as well as events for other organizations and with private clinicians. I will always be a student of the horse!

I have experience in trimming for rehabilitation, performance and pleasure riding in many disciplines. I am an Easycare and Scoot Boot dealer and I really enjoy helping my clients reach their riding goals through the use of hoof boots, glue-on boots, easy shoes and equicast when necessary. Further, I enjoy helping owners tailor their horse keeping practices to give them the best shot at a successful barefoot lifestyle.

I usually have limited openings for new clients but an email, text message or phone call will get you in touch with me and I do my very best to respond within 48 hours.

I am always happy to book mentorships for PHCP students; I ask that mentorships be booked 5-6 weeks in advance so I have time to give my clients a heads up and make sure to plan the day to suit the student’s needs. I work with a local equine rescue so that along with my current client base provides a good experience for students of all levels. I am located about an hour away from the Albany International Airport and there are a multitude of lovely accommodations in my area for visiting students to stay close by. The best times of year to book mentorships would be Spring-Fall, winter here can be unpredictable and travel might get tricky! I also highly recommend a 2 day mentorship if possible!
