Lara Sportelli works throughout Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England, she has a big love and passion for horses, nature and the countryside.
Lara is a Vet Trained Hoof Care Specialist and runs Holistic Hoof Care Courses, guiding, supporting and helping people to maintain their horses hooves in between trims and offers a trimming and hoof consultation service.
Holistic Horses Hoof Care Courses are also available if you would like to host a clinic for a group, one to one at your own home and live online.
All her life Lara has pursued her big love and passion for horses and courses that could be of benefit to the horse and as a young girl, after seeing her ponies feet transform, after the shoes were removed, she became fascinated in hoof care.
Lara says "watching my horses feet transform was magic".
Lara has been trimming since 2006 and believes the whole horse approach is key to maintaining healthy barefoot hooves, she has three horses of her own, Cherry an Appaloosa, Dreamer an Arab and Toots a Dartmoor pony, none of her horses have ever had shoes on.
Lara studied Trimming at Homeopathic and Western Medicine Vet Stefano Sabionis School of Trimming, Bio Mechanics and Natural Horse Care, including Laminitis, Diet, Hoof Pathologies, Rehab and Track Systems.
Over the years one course has naturally led to another and Lara says "Who Knows What Horses Will Teach Me Next".
