Connie Challice NPHCS (Natural Performance Hoof Care Specialist)
Connie Challice has had a life long passion for horses. She and her partner own a carriage ride company that serves Calgary and area. They have 16 horses including 4 working teams and 1 upcoming young team. They spend a lot of time in the mountains with their horses (riding and driving). All of their horses run barefoot and live a natural healthy lifestyle. The horses get a lot of exercise from pulling wagons and carriages around the city to mountain pack and wagon trips as well as farming with horses at their farm outside of Calgary.
In 2002 Connie started to study, train and apprentice as a farrier. During this time she was introduced to the concept of ‘barefoot horses’. Wanting knowledge on ALL aspects of hoof care she attended a clinic with Christina Cline of the American Association of Natural Hoof Care. This common sense approach to hoof and horse care motivated her to pursue more knowledge and Connie proceeded to study with Christina Cline, Lane Moore (Lazy M Ranch) & (Equinextion)
Connie Challice along with Birgitta Wilkinson have founded Success With Horses. They continue to do research on the equine hoof and educate interested horse owners on the positive effects that natural hoof care/horse care has to offer, and how to achieve healthy successful barefoot horses. They have also created an apprenticeship program training interested individuals for a rewarding career in Natural Hoof Care/horse care.
