OKANAGAN SCHOOL OF NATURAL HOOF CARE
Welcome to
We offer courses and workshops that encompass everything from classroom knowledge on anatomy and function to hands on guided trimming on our school horses or even your own horses. If you just want to learn to trim your own horses or want to pursue a career in hoof care, we have a course for everyone and every skill level.
Big Changes Coming in 2026!
As many of you know, the way I look at hoof care has always gone beyond just trimming feet. For me it has always been a whole horse journey. And as things continue to grow here, I’m making some exciting changes to how I teach and work with horses moving forward.
Starting in 2026, I’ll be moving away from my traditional 5 day course format and instead offering:
3 Day Hands-On Trimming Courses
2 Day Composite Shoe Application Courses (run consecutively with select 3 day trim courses)
This split format will give students more flexibility and make it easier for people to choose what fits their goals and schedule best and booking a 3 Day trim clinic and 2 Day Glue-On Shoe clinic back to back will result in the same 5 day experience we previously offered!
On the service side of things, I’ve also expanded what I offer at the OKSNHC campus. I’m now accepting new clients for whole-horse consultations that include:
Therapeutic trimming & glue-on composite shoes
Lessons and training sessions to support posture and balance on the ground and under saddle
Focus on the mental and emotional relationship between you and your horse
Vet collaboration for radiographs, lameness evaluations and treatment plans
This has been a long time coming, and I’m really excited about this direction. If your horse is dealing with lingering lameness or just not moving quite right, this more holistic, whole horse approach might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Helping horses move better, feel better, and connect better—starting with the feet.
