Workshops and Courses: Differences and Participation Requirements

We deliberately distinguish between courses and workshops. To ensure our offers are safe, worthwhile and professionally suitable for all participants, there are certain participation requirements depending on the format.

Courses (for private individuals / horse owners)

Our courses are aimed at interested horse owners without a commercial hoof care activity. They teach basic knowledge and practical basic skills in handling our products.

Requirements:

• interest in hoof health and hoof protection, but no professional background required
• minimum age of 18 years
