YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Our courses are for normal every day horse owners, who want to learn about hooves and hoof care. We cater for all levels, and you don't need to have any prior knowledge about hooves in order to join our courses.

Our courses are NOT meant to teach you how to trim hooves in a professional capacity, but we do not know that many of our students have gone on to study more and have become professional barefoot trimmers after completing our courses.

Not at all. We start from the very beginning, and teach you all you need to know about hooves and hoof care. And everything is explained in simple layman's terms, so that it's easy to understand and follow.

Yes, we create all our courses so that they are easy to follow and learn from. Our goal is to explain everything in simple layman's terms, and always explain the WHAT, WHY and HOW thoroughly.

WHAT we are showing and teaching you.

WHY we showing and teaching you those things.

HOW you can apply what you have learnt, to your own horse's hoof care.

If you’re looking for a hoof care school, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. There are lots of different trimming methods, training styles, and even whole organisations that insist their way is the only way. That can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out and only know that you’d like to learn more about barefoot hoof care.

At Hoof School, we take a different approach. We don’t believe in rigid “systems” or one-size-fits-all methods. Instead, we teach you how to use your own judgement and common sense when it comes to your horse’s hooves. Why? Because every horse is different, and the person who knows them best is you.

Here’s what makes us the best place to learn:

• Owner-focused learning. We empower you to take control. Even if you keep working with a trimmer, understanding hoof health means you can make better daily decisions for your horse.

• Clear and practical teaching. No jargon, no drama. Just straightforward knowledge you can actually use.

• Balanced perspective. We encourage you to learn from different sources, but also to take everything with a pinch of salt. Not everything you read online will apply to your horse, and we show you how to tell the difference.

• Community support. You’re not learning alone. Our courses connect you with a community of horse owners who are on the same journey.

Choosing a hoof care school isn’t about finding the loudest voice or the fanciest terminology. It’s about finding a place where you feel supported, understood, and equipped to make good choices for your horse.

That’s what we do here at Hoof School. We keep things simple, practical, and always focused on what matters most: keeping your horse comfortable, sound, and thriving.
