Lifting legs for hoof care is an essential part in your horse’s training. We need to clean their hoofs, check them and let the farrier do his work safely (trims and shoeing). There also can be times the vet needs to handle your horse’s feet, for instance when your horse has a hoof abscess.

This course provides you with an extended plan to train lifting legs for cleaning and trims.
