With 59 hours of in-depth presentations and discussions highlighted in eight general sessions, 12 Hoof-Care Classrooms and 24 Hoof-Care Roundtables, International Hoof-Care Summit attendees have told us not to be making major revisions in what they feel is an extraordinary combination of in-depth educational opportunities. Even so, we’ve come up with a few minor changes to make this 4-day educational opportunity even more valuable to you.

Featuring a theme of “Spotlight On Hoof Care,” the fifth annual Summit is being held in Cincinnati, Ohio, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, 2008.

More “How-To” Knowledge

To expand your product knowledge and hoof-care skills, next winter’s Summit will provide an exciting look at the latest how-to tips and tricks in six right-to-the-point presentations on specific footcare techniques. These presentations may include techniques such as how to more effectively dry a foot for glue-on shoes, how to cast a hoof or how to map out the most efficient weekly appointment schedule.
