Our clinic on Sunday the 7th will be graced by the presence of a local farrier and the man who maintains my bare foot horses Tim Cahill who will come and demonstrate on some horses here and also talk about the pro's and con's of bare foot horses and shod ones.
Dermot McCourt who is one of if not the best man in the country for horses feet, has agreed to run a workshop here, dates will be arranged soon, hopefully will be toward mid November.
'Dermot is a remedial equine podiatrist, who has worked and trained in Saudi Arabia and also with several AANHCP practitioners in
the United States. He started working with traditional farriery methods,
but his career developed to working with severe foot problems -
correcting damage to return horses to being sound.
Dermot specialises in barefoot trimming to alleviate and cure navicular syndrome and laminitis.
Barefoot trimming is NOT merely a shoeless horse. The foot is prepared to return to the state that would be produced in a horse in the wild. Domestication has meant that the horse's hoof is not subjected to the
wear and tear that actually maintains the foot in it's natural state.
When the foot is prepared to mimic the natural state - the hoof is able
to withstand work on almost any terrain.'
See hoofsculpture.com for more about him..
Call me for a place or to find out more..
