I became a farmer after serving in the military and trained with Piet kloosterman at Embryonics using the widely respected "Dutch method" also know as functional and corrective hoof trimming. I then became certified with City & Guilds (NPTC), am a Category 1 Foot Trimmer and have been a member of NACFT for over 20 years.

The techniques I use maintain a well balanced healthy foot and corrects any existing hoof problems at an early stage before they become more serious. I use a Ten Napel hydraulic stand up crush which is more comfortable and safer for the animal than the roll over equipment. I'm checked and audited biannually to maintain our Cat 1 certificate, continue our high standard and to keep best practices.
