I've been to several of Ida's hoof classes. The beginner class isn't just for people who want to trim their own horses or learn to trim for a living. It's a great learning opportunity for horse owners who just want to learn more about what to look for in a trimmer or farrier and how to evaluate the work they are providing. Ida is a fantastic teacher and a walking encyclopedia of equine knowledge. This is a great class and an amazing bargain.

I couldn't agree more! You learn about health, nutrition, anatomy, horse psychology/behavior, diagnosing problems your horse may have. It is a whole horse learning experience and Ida is an extremely knowledgeable and effective instructor. It's worth evey penny and you and your horse/s will be glad you attended!

Awesome! I learned a lot of things I need to learn more about! Great class, great instructor who is obviously passionate about what she does and eager to share that knowledge in a friendly personable, non- demeaning manner

These classes are phenomenal!
I have worked on the racetrack as a groom, exercise rider, trainer and owner (19 years). These classes have completely revamped the way I look at equine management and hoofcare. Ida is very experienced and well taught. I really appreciate the time she spends relaying her knowledge to others.
I look forward to my last three classes for certification!

Opened-up an entire new perspective toward understanding the pathology of the hoof. Hands-on classes encouraged me to take more notice of the overall condition of my horses hooves and also to feel comfortable rasping their hooves correctly in between trims. Also provided support with facts on the benefits of establishing a natural horse care program. And that Mustang roll…can't say enough good things about it. Thank you Ida!

I had been trimming my horse for about 2 years when I took this class. It was so good to SEE all the reasons I was trimming the way I was trimming. I had melded Dr. Strauss? and Jamie Jackson into one trim job (not easy to do), but had never seen a cadaver hoof or worked on one. So this class made everything I had read come alive. Ida taught enough in the beginner class to make me want to learn more. Now I have a 'special hoof needs' horse and feel much better qualified to trim him and make him comfortable.
