Horse Mornings @ Agoura Arena: Horse Hoof Health, Barefoot Discussion and Demo

February 29, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 11:00 am

Free

What you should know when it comes to your horse’s hoof health!!

Join us as Tiva Delcour shares thoughts from her years of hands-on field experience in transitioning horses to a natural barefoot solution.

At this workshop, learn about:

  • The bone structure of the hoof
  • How nutrition affects hoof health
  • How to tell if your horse’s hooves are healthy
  • The options & benefits for horses going barefoot
  • The challenges of taking off horseshoes
  • Correctional trims

Did you know:

  • Horses are being competed barefoot in many sports
  • When we put shoes on a horse, the shoes actually restricts
    the hoof’s natural flexion which removes its ability to pump
    blood, eliminating circulation in the hoof mechanism
  • It takes approximately eight months for a horse to grow a
    new hoof, from hairline to the ground

 

Bio for Tiva Delcour

Kativa Delcour is from Lenox, Massachusetts. At the age of 10, she started studying horse anatomy and the structure and function of hooves, along with training, and showing English and Western. At age 17, she began training to be a jockey. Seeing how the horses were treated, she decided she did not want to be apart of that abuse and left that sport behind.

In 2003 she moved to California and worked for Cavalia as a groom and then worked for a rescue and adopted a National Show Horse that had been rescued from a feed lot heading for slaughter. The horse was severely emaciated with neglected feet that looked more like pancakes. After firing her 5th farrier in 1 year, she decided she need to figure out what was happening and why.

She started studying with Pete Ramey for “barefoot” trimming and pathologies in horses feet. During that time, she started working at Conejo Valley Vet Equine Hospital as a vet tech in 2005. With the help of the Equine hospital learning in the field doing numerous lameness exams, pre purchase exams and radiographs she decided to go to another school in 2006, Oregon School of Natural Hoofcare under Cheryl Henderson. It was a school that studied in-depth pathologies in horses hooves and legs and corrective trimming. From there lead her into studying nutrition with Katy Watts of SaferGrass.org , metabolic imbalances and Functional Medicine that got to the root cause of illnesses and treating horses from a nutritional stand point and healing them, which lead her to Dr. Rhiannon Fenton.

She also has been active at the Eponamind School in Paso Robles and just recently went with a client’s horse to radiograph and put Epona shoes on, as well as study more pathologies and dissections.
