Horse Care, Hooves and Massage Focus
In the spirit of its popular Equine Husbandry Course series, Post University's Equine Department will run three Saturday Seminars entitled Basic Horse Care, Concepts in Equine Massage, and Introduction to Hoof Care this coming summer. Each course will run for 16 hours over two consecutive Saturdays.
Introduction to Hoof Care introduces the form, function, care, and maintenance of the equine hoof. Abby Bloxsom, Farrier and Co-Director of the Equine program at Post University, will discuss the basic anatomy of the hoof and lower leg, and survey common trimming theories and techniques to produce an understanding of the role of sound, functional hooves in gaits and performance. Introduction to Hoof Care will be held on July 17 and 24, 2010.
The Summer Saturday Seminar series is organized by the Post University Equine Department to provide topical and up-to-date information on subjects related to the ownership, care, and training of horses. Cost of each seminar will be $350, and registration can be arranged by contacting the Post University Equine Office at 203-596-4631 or -4645,or -4653 or by email at CBaker@post.edu or ABloxsom@post.edu.
