What people are saying about our workshops:
Kristi delivered an excellent presentation to our Pony Club group. Members and parents raved about it afterwards. She is extremely knowledgeable, and managed to captivate a very diverse group (with ages ranging from 6 year old through to adults!) I would highly recommend any course taught by Kristi!

I attended a Hoof Dissection Clinic, it was very informative, I loved the hands on. Wonderful family atmosphere. Homemade hot meal with salad + a dessert provided for lunch. I wanted to learn more about the anatomy and function of the hoof. I was not disappointed. I plan on attending future clinics. Highly recommend.
