What can I expect from a visit ?

In order for both you and your horse to get the most out of your consultation please allow at least 2 hours for the first visit (follow up visits will become shorter as the hoof moves towards true balance)

 

We will need a clean, level area (preferably well lit and under cover) in which the horses can be examined. We will also need a suitable area where the horse can be walked / trotted up

 

During the consultation, the individual structures of the hoof will be assessed to establish the overall health of the feet and identify any problems that need to be addressed. Results will be recorded on our ‘Spectrum of Usability’ Evaluation Form

 

If appropriate, the HPT Method™ or High Performance Trim will be applied. This ‘balances’ the foot by using external ‘landmarks’ to support optimum function of the corresponding internal structures

 

We will then compile a written Consultation report which will include detailed photographs and structural measurements for each foot, this will allow us to create a calendar of events to monitor the ongoing progress of your horse

 

Finally, we will evaluate the horses environment, exercise and nutritional regimes and then provide a list of recommendations and a detailed conditioning routine which is specifically designed to help your horse attain optimum health of the feet
