“I gained so much from this course and would rank it as one of the best I have been to ever and have already started putting it into practice. I found the lecture series to be incredibly informative and combined practical information on how to trim and shoe feet for different conditions with advice on how to diagnose and medicate different conditions, including a very thorough review of the medications available. The practical day was awesome – giving you something to take away that you can immediately start to roll out in your own practice.”
