HOST A CLINIC

We are looking for community halls or equestrian facilities to host larger groups of horse owners ready to learn more about hooves, health, and horse care.

We require the following;

Days 1 , 2 & 3: Lecture / Cadaver trimming

During the first three days of the clinic, each day begins with a PowerPoint presentation. These sessions are quite extensive: lasting 5-6 hours on Day 1, 4-5 hours on Day 2, and 3-4 hours on Day 3. To ensure students can effectively absorb the information, it is essential to foster a comfortable and engaging learning environment, this is why we are looking for the following:

  • Enclosed room (minimum of 30 x 30) with

    • electricity,

    • A/C and heat,

    • ceilings at least 9 feet high,

    • level floor.

    • The space needs to be big enough for 36 feet of tables for our bone display, computer and tv,  and enough seating space for a minimum of 15 people.  This display needs to stay up for the 3 days (not taken down every night).

  • Parking available for attendees’ cars/trucks

  • Restroom (preferably with sink and running water)

  • Access to running water

  • 2-3 long tables to work on

  • Well ventilated area for trimming cadavers - arena, garage, barn, shop - (we can trim outside if the weather permits)

  • We will also be requesting a video of the facility to ensure it meets all these requirements,

  • And we will need to know the cost for using the facility.

Day 4 - Live Horse Trimming Day

  • An area to work on live horses out of the weather (we can trim outside if weather permits) - a firm surface is required to take hoof pictures and good lighting is necessary for trimming - arena, barn, big shed (this can be at a different location from Days 1-3)

  • Parking space for attendees’ vehicles and horse trailers

We travel with a truck and a 36’ horse trailer with living quarters, so we need

  • an area big enough to park and turn this unit is necessary,

  • a minimum of a 30 amp plug-in (this is ideal, but if unavailable, need 2 regular plug-ins),

  • a water β€œplug-in” is also desirable.

  • We also travel with our 2 dogs, who are very well-behaved and are used to all kinds of different animals.
