I am ready for some more learnin'!

Some of the best money you can spend.

If I could trim, I'd take it. KC (and Mike) helped me save Bien's life. Good stuff.

Thanks guys,

I took Pete's clinic when he was still doing those, and at that time, I thought THAT was the best money I could spend.

I'll start saving my pennies and see if I can top it then

....and that is all I know so far
other than his name comes up in hoofcare conversation quite a lot as being a reputable and knowledgeable practitioner and instructor on the subject.

I am not sure what the course would be like, and not sure what to expect, but I am saving my pennies and may be able to sign up next month!

Well, I ordered the videos and book that go with the course, and while I've only browsed the book, I watched all 4 videos in the last 2 days.

They are remarkable clear in their presentation, and he way KC explains things made a lot of sense without me having to rewatch the videos.

Gives me a lot to think about in terms of maintaining my horses.

I've been trimming my horses myself and keeping them barefoot since 05, but after watching the videos, see where I can improve.

I signed up for a bunch of OT at work and will be taking the online course starting in April

I am looking forward to it and will chart my improvements here with before and after and my notes on changes.

Don't get me wrong, I'll call a professional when I need one, but my horses are both sound, and my paint is booted when I ride. I don't have any major management. lameness or health issues. I am simply trying to be better for them.

If this goes well, I am going to take time from my real job and go for some certifications and possibly pick up a few clients when I feel like I am worthy.

Kind of exciting!

I took KC's 5 days course last August and I'm planning on taking it again this August. That was, by far, the best money I have ever spent! I learned so much and now I'm trimming our three horses and my friend's horse, Jigs. Thanks to Mike, for starting me off on the hoof trimming direction. It is definitely something I want to do and I hope that I can take the online course in the near future as well.
KC's trim is the most scientific and precise, but so easy to learn, IMO. Way better than any other barefoot trimming material I have watched. The courses are like the DVD's in high gear, 5 days in a row. I definitely recommend them to any horse owner!

I bought the book and DVDs and are reading/watching them BEFORE I enroll in the course so I get the most out of it. I am really looking forward to thecourse. I am done with the DVDs, which by the way are very clear and well done. I am now about 1/2 way done with the book.

I am thinking I will enroll in mid-June.

I wish I could go down for an in-person course! Maybe next summer

Suz,

Which particular book and DVDs did you get?

I'm interested in getting them but would like to ask if they cover sheared heels and contracted feet.

Book is "The Chosen Road" and the Video series is the same title. The videos do a very good job of clearly explaining the method and physiology. I watched them all in a weekend when I was sick, and intend to watch them again and take notes. I hope to do this soon, and I can forward you notes I take.

I am about 1/2 way through the book. It is an excellent follow-up to the videos, and addresses a lof of the same things.

If you buy the set together, there is significant savings.

I am very happy with it all. I hope to have the book read and the videos watched one more time before I start the course so I get the most out of it! I'll post my notes here when I start and let you know what I think!

(I also need to buy a printer first!)

Yay I am all signed up and ready to go!!! (online, that is)

I've been e-mailing my questions back and forth to Robyn (who is amazing) and I am ready for some learning. They say it takes an average of 10 months to complete.

I am so excited! I feel like I am doing OK now on my own, but I want to do better than OK.

There is also a module on the Perfect Hoofwear System, and I look forward to that.

How cool, I started the online course this month too!
I'm on Module 2 and am super exited to keep reading. I'm planning on getting certified through KC and going down to Florida (for a course at his center) in December.
How long have you been trimming your horses, Suz?
