NATURAL BAREFOOT TRIMMING CLINIC
Facilitated by Gail Graham
Gail is returning to Christchurch to conduct another Clinic for those who wish
to learn more about the hoof, the horses’ diet, environment and ultimately
teach you to trim your own horses’ hooves. The Natural Barefoot Trim was
devised thanks to studies made by Jaime Jackson over the past 25 years.
Regardless of your equine discipline, the Natural Barefoot Trim will help your
horse regain hoof mechanism in order for it to reach its full potential.
The hoof is the foundation of the horse and everything is built above it.
Subjects covered at the Clinic will include:
DIET
ENVIRONMENT
HOOF MECHANISM
COMMON HOOF AILMENTS
DEMONSTRATION TRIMMING
CADAVER TRIMMING
Toomey Equine Services
Suzanne Toomey of Toomey Equine Services

BENEFITS OF EQUINE PHYSIOTHERAPY
