“Professional in the holistic hoofcare in France since 10 years, I asked IBEM for help because I felt regressed in my work and I had more and more misunderstanding with certain hoof deformations.
I am very satisfied because the courses are very rich, complete, detailed. Responses to emails are always quick and accurate. And coaching online are a big help, it’s a real chance. I am impressed with the quality of IBEM’s work and thrilled to feel new progress around my horses.
I will continue to refer to IBEM. The knowledge provided on the equine hoofs is incredible and the horses really have a comfortable locomotion. A huge thank you to IBEM. You have great respect for horses.”

Duration: 2 semester
Building on the HHC course, the 2-semester HHP course is intended for people who would like to work in the field as a hoofcare professional. This course now focuses on the HOW problems get addressed and corrected.
The profession of HHP constitutes a unique, holistic approach to equine health care, especially in the area of lameness prevention and healing, and offers this in a non-invasive approach. The HHP learns how to transition a hoof to a healthy and sustainable hoof in an efficient manner.
While an HHP is not a veterinarian, and does not perform veterinary activities, they are individuals with profound knowledge of hoof anatomy and physiology, the causes of hoof problems and lameness, and the correct method of trimming a hoof to restore or maintain physiological hoof shape and functions. The HHP understands the complicated interactions of the hoof with the horse as a whole, and the effects that hoof problems and diseases can have on the entire organism.
Your main course will show up at its start date.
Duration: 2 semester
This course is intended for people who would like to develop a more in-depth knowledge on horses hooves and learn how to look after hooves holistically rather than symptomatically, but are not necessarily interested in making this their career. Split over two semester blocks, it is delivered in a mixture of online learning, online meetings, and practical sessions.
The primary focus of this course will be on the WHAT is going on in the hoof and WHY certain aspects are a problem to the hoof and the horse.
To do so, the HH course covers the essentials in hoof anatomy, morphology, and function, but also focuses on the basic nature of the horse and its physiological and psychological needs for health, soundness, and longevity. You will learn which conditions must be present in a horse’s lifestyle for it to be healthy, and which conditions are harmful, including improper rider interaction.
The Holistic Hoofcare theory is offered in two formats:
In conjunction with the practical modules, this course is part of the Holistic Hoofcare Certificate (HHC) and forms a prerequisite to the professionals’ course (HHP). The HHP course will focus on the HOW problems get addressed and corrected.
