Join our community on Facebook. We have a barefoot trimming information group called OKSNHC Followers Connect you are welcome to join. You can post photos, ask for advice and interact with other barefoot trimmers, enthusiasts and horse owners.
We offer courses and workshops that encompass everything from classroom knowledge on anatomy and function to hands on guided trimming on our school horses. If you just want to learn to trim your own horses or want to pursue a career in hoof care, we have a course for everyone and every skill level. Our 6 day barefoot trimming course will give you the skills needed to confidently assess and evaluate a horse's hoof care needs and includes follow up consultations and continued learning.
Clinics
We also offer clinics for Groups, Clubs and Organizations tailored to your groups and interests. Back Country Chapters, Pony Clubs and private riding clubs have all been great places to share our knowledge and bring our display of freeze dried cadavers and our dissection demos.
