If your answer is "Yes", you need to attend Martha's One Day Introductory Presentation.

Have you ever seen and touched a deep flexor tendon? Have you had the opportunity to watch it function? Have you ever seen a coffin bone or a navicular bone?

We've all seen the diagrams or photos of a hoofs interior. THIS is your chance to see the real thing and to begin to understand how the natural hoof functions.

This is your chance! Join us as we explore the contents of the equine hoof capsule and lower leg.

This fascinating presentation on the essentials of Hoof Mapping and the Whole Horse Trim explains how anyone can easily learn to evaluate the balance and health of their horses feet.

Do you need this information? Well, ask yourself these questions:

"Does the person who tends my horses feet let the toes get too long, or the heels too high?"

"Why does my horse stumble or interfere?" "What causes a "Club Foot"?"

"What do contracted or underrun heels look like? Does my horse have them? What long term health effects do they create? How can they be corrected?"

Martha shares her simple yet effective techniques for measuring and achieving optimum hoof balance, information that enables us to understand hoof form and function, and the components of natural care that are vital to the maintenance of horses feet.

After a break for lunch, the Whole Horse Trim is demonstrated on a cadaver hoof.

Then comes the good part!

The mysteries of the limb are revealed as Martha performs a detailed dissection of the hoof and lower leg exploring nerves, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bones. Pausing to identify each anatomical element and answer questions, Martha demonstrates the function and common malfunction of each major component.

If you own a horse, you can't afford to miss this presentation!
