This is going to be amazing and I cannot wait to attend! If you are interested make sure you sign up. I am happy to share travel and accommodations if anyone is interested.

In 2022, we hosted our first "Humble Hoof Podiatry Clinic" and it was a really great time. I have been wanting to do another clinic and finally reached out to a great group of clinicians to make this happen!

Dr. Jenny Hagen (DVM, CJF, vet podiatrist and researcher), Celester Lazaris ("Balanced Through Movement" method), and Ula Krzanowska ("The Hoof Architect") are coming together to Amesbury, MA for a podiatry clinic on hoof balance, body compensations, approaches to lameness, and more. There will be a mixture of lecture as well as hands-on demonstrations with rehab horses. This clinic will be great for hoofcare pros, bodyworkers, veterinarians, or even horse owners who want an in-depth look at the body and hooves.

This clinic will take place in Amesbury, MA, at our track system rehab facility on October 25-26, 2025. Participant spots are limited as our goal is to break into small groups to work one on one with each clinician throughout the weekend.

I am SO excited to have these amazing professionals look at some of the difficult cases we come across in our practices!

As of right now, this clinic will be in-person and participant option only. There may be options to truck in a demo horse. You can learn more and register at thehumblehoof.com/product/clinic - be sure to sign up now for Early Bird Pricing!

Once participant spots fill, we will start a wait list.

I hope to see you there!

This has a lot of great insight for anyone thinking about starting a track.

Most people who follow this page know that in addition to my full time hoofcare career, I also run a hoof rehab facility here in Massachusetts. I regularly get messages and comments asking about our track systems here- everything from how we set up our tracks, to how wide they are, the surfacing we used, how we feed, what type of fencing we use, etc. A recent post I shared on this page had a short video of our gelding track, and I had another influx of questions about it, which made me think that a podcast episode about it may be helpful!

So who better to sit down with than my amazing husband, Vova, and talk about our trials and tribulations and tips and tricks in setting up and running a track system facility! We talk about everything from managing the land, to feeding, to some of our favorite cases that have come through here.

You can hear the conversation on any podcast app under "The Humble Hoof," or directly at this link: https://thehumblehoof.com/2024/11/08/building-a-track-system-facility/

(And side note, because we can’t take any credit for knowing what to do when starting out, we learned so much from Amy Dell’s book “Horse Track Systems” and can’t recommend it enough - so listen to this episode and then go buy her book!)

So very true!

Concerned about inflammation?

Obesity has been identified as the NUMBER ONE cause of chronic, systemic inflammation in humans, and more and more evidence points to the same link in horses. Maintaining a healthy body condition of 4.5-6 on the Henneke Scale (1-9) is a simple and effective tool you can utilize to help manage your horse’s health, including decreasing the potential risk of inflammation.
