I cannot recommend this course ENOUGH! If I could have one wish granted, it would be for all owners to feel confident and empowered in caring for, and at times advocating for, the horses in their lives. This course is SO valuable, and will not only add a ton of knowledge and understanding for the owner – but I feel that this will become a regular reference in their toolkit for years to come. The information is well organized, well written, and allows owners to understand the context behind the information being given. I wish that something like this had been available 8 or 9 years ago when I started my hoof care journey. No matter your pre-existing hoof knowledge or background going into this course, you will come out the other side better for it. Nicole has been an absolute rock in my life as a friend and mentor. She is a wealth of information, and for everyone that knows her knows how amazing it is to be able to pick her brain and soak up her knowledge. This course is like having Nicole-on-Demand, with unlimited access to the course you can go back and re-reference things as many times or as often as needed. Thank you Nicole, for this fantastic resource! You are making the world better for horses by empowering their people.

I have been anxiously awaiting the release of this online course from Nicole Joty. As an Equine Therapist, it is imperative for me to strive for an ever-increasing depth of knowledge of equine bodies – including the hooves. I am always eager to learn more about how the health of the equine hoof affects the body, and vice-versa.
However, it has become increasingly obvious to me over the years that most horse owners are not armed with the knowledge that they need to recognize and provide a state of health and function in their own horse’s feet. Nicole, in her work as a hoof care practitioner over the past 20+ years, saw the need for a hoof care resource that is easily accessible, contains practical and digestible information, includes outside resources and community support, and is designed for both horse owners and professionals alike to expand their understanding. And now we have just that!
Knowledge is power. Learning the facts about your horse’s body and how it functions allows you to confidently make decisions regarding your horse’s care and welfare – even when faced with opposing opinions. But it can be an overwhelming feat, and most people don’t know where to start. That’s why I am very grateful to have Nicole’s course as a resource that I can provide to my clients, and get them and their horses on the road to hoof and body wellness
