Peter Laidley was born and lives in Australia. He is well known to many around the world as the “Hoof Bloke” and is an active contributor to many barefoot internet forums, and a resident expert at Natural HorsePeople.com

Peter takes a whole horse approach to hoofcare, paying particular attention to diet, lifestyle and horse handling.

Peter teaches hoof care and barefoot trimming in his native Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe and throughout the UK.

Following on from the success of Peterʼs last fi ve visits to the UK, he now is offering a range of workshops:

2 day general hoofcare workshop which will cover hoof anatomy and function, nutrition, exercise, natural horse handling, tool skills and barefoot trimming. This workshop is ideal for people who would like to be a bit more hands on with their horseʼs hoof care. Equally it is a great way to learn more about keeping horses & ponies barefoot or prepare for going barefoot if your horse still has itʼs shoes on.

1 day advanced hoofcare workshop focusing specifi cally on foot analysis for trimming.

This workshop is designed for people who have already attended a general workshop and want a more indepth look at evaluating the foot and more hands on trimming time. Ideal for those who are dealing with a horse or pony with hoof problems.
