So if giraffes can learn to behave properly during hoof care, then your horses should be able to do the same.

My great passion: Hooves!
As long as I can remember, I was fascinated by horses, and with my first horse I began to be interested in hooves, too. Every time I met my farrier I bombed him with questions, which he gladly answered. And finally, after some lecture, the opportunity poped-up: A weekend course with Jochen Biernat himself, Germany’s leading equine hoof researcher. After this, I started trimming my horses and those of my friends.
Unfortunately, the long period of apprenticeship deterred me from becoming a farrier, and I studied some “decent” – first construction and then electrical engineering. I did some endurance riding and discovered the world of hoof boots, experimented a lot and operated beside a small horseshop. Finally, I decided to become a hoof orthopaedist. After two years of exciting training with extensive theory and many practical weekends at the German Institute for Hoof Orthopedics, I held the diploma to a DIfHO® hoof orthopaedist in hand (DIfHO® – Deutsches Institut für Huforthopädie).
In 2009, I moved with my 4 arabian horses to Sweden, and further to Norway in 2017. Scandinavia is in terms of barehoof trimming a big black hole. Still a lot of hooves to improve, but that's the point I like so badly!
