Looking through the Lense of Nature
Comprehensive consultations based on the U.S. Great Basin Wild Horse Model
Perhaps you've tried changing your horse's diet. Changed trimmers. Bought supplements. Invested in hoof boots. Followed advice from social media or well-meaning professionals. Yet despite your best efforts, the same problems keep returning.
The truth is that hoof problems rarely exist in isolation. Whether you're facing laminitis, recurring abscesses, poor hoof quality, persistent tenderness, behavioural changes, or simply feel that something isn't quite right, these are often clues pointing towards a much bigger picture.
NHC Consultations are designed to help you step back and see that picture. Using the U.S. Great Basin Wild Horse Model and the Four Pillars of Natural Horse Care, we'll explore how your horse's diet, environment, movement, hoof form and management work together, allowing us to identify the underlying influences that may be standing in the way of lasting soundness and well-being.
Summary Of the Consultation Process
Share Your Story
Every consultation begins with understanding your horse's history and current management. You'll complete a detailed questionnaire and provide photographs, videos and any relevant information that you feel may help build a broader picture of your horse's circumstances.
Discovery Call
We'll arrange a short introductory call to discuss your objectives, answer any questions and explain how the consultation will be structured. This allows us to establish a clear focus before the review begins.
Connecting the Dots
Using the Four Pillars of Natural Horse Care and the U.S. Great Basin Wild Horse Model as a framework, I'll carefully review the information you've provided. Together, we'll explore how management, nutrition, environment, movement and hoof form may relate to one another, helping to build a more complete understanding of your horse's situation.
Consultation Summary
Following the consultation, you'll receive a written summary bringing together the key topics discussed, together with practical Natural Horse Care guidance and management considerations relevant to your individual circumstances. The document is intended to support your understanding of the consultation and provide a useful reference for future discussions.
Consultation Review
Once you've had an opportunity to read through the consultation summary, we'll arrange a follow-up call to discuss any questions you may have and further explore the topics covered during the consultation. This provides an opportunity to clarify the information presented and discuss how the principles of Natural Horse Care may be applied within your own circumstances.
