My horse is supposed to go bare foot, what are the prerequisites that it can do that? When does it need shoeing?

Does my horse stand and move correctly?
Learn to judge horse shoeing.
How do I recognize symptoms of illness in my horse?

Participants' comments on the seminar on 18 and 19 August 2007

Pascal and Martina Nicks:

Hi,
Mambo good, Martina good, Pascal good.
We enjoyed Mambo's shoeing and the whole weekend with you very much. Culinary delights (food to no end) and well presented lessons by Anja and Hacky definitely made our weeklong vacation very enjoyable. We have recommended your seminars to others and we feel certain that one or the other will sign up. I learned that horses are just people like us; not only because of their autonomy but also in their behavior. Your seminar gave us a whole new perspective in horsemanship and it made Mambo even more precious to us.
Most sincerely,
Pascal and Martina (she still suffers from sore muscles)

Reinhard and Margret Huss:

We were very much aware that we did not know enough about our horse's incorrect gait and the necessary corrective measures that need to be taken, which was the reason why we decided to attend a seminar on hoofs and shoeing. Someone had recommended to us Anja and Hacky.
We learned a great deal in reference to anatomy, hoof mechanism and what can be done right or wrong when taking care of your horses hoofs. Many of the prepared parts, but also videos and animation complemented the very knowledgeable lectures. Any hunger pangs were best taken care off. The group was small which allowed very efficient work. There was enough time for anyone's questions from the group.
And what we liked best: Anja and Hacky are extremely flexible. They have an open mind for all different methods - no matter if this means a horse can go barefoot or needs special shoeing. Their motivation is to find the best possible solution for each individual horse and to pass on this knowledge.
