Class starts at 9am and ends around 5pm.
2024 starts a new format of the Advanced Trim class to better serve the students.
Prior to class, upon registration, student will submit
A full length trimming video of them trimming all 4 hooves on a horse.
A case study with before and after pictures and a brief history.
As part of the certification requirements the student will send monthly follow ups of the case study for 3 months after.
This actually is a bonus. Normally this falls under
3 consultations
With a value of $350 ( No Charge for the Advanced Trim Certified)
I feel this is important as it keeps you supported during your early learning.
If student doesn’t have this prior class they still can come to the Advanced Trim class and complete it for a Non-Trimming Fellow Certificate, until the trimming and case study portion is completed. At that time a full certificate will be given.
Class will start with terminology used in the field by professionals and laymen.
We will be discussing distortions and how to correct them.
After the distortion portion, we view and discuss radiographs (Students are welcome to bring radiographs they would like to look at) , venograms, and many other pathologies.
After Lunch we will complete the class with a final cadaver trim, and tools to Shoe, cast, or treat however you would if you were in the field.
Live trimming will be limited to those that bring their own horse. Arrangements need to be made beforehand for this.
Cost for this class is:
250.00 full participant
125.00 to audit
A 50.00 non refundable deposit is required to hold a spot.
All classes must be paid in full 14 days prior to class.
