Coreena Koschewski NPHCP (Natural Performance Hoof Care Professional)

I have always enjoyed the company of our beloved pets such as my fish, chinchilla, cats, and our dog, but I couldn’t have been more thrilled to welcome horses into my life when I began riding at the age of 12. Before long, I acquired my first horse, Samuel, to join Pony Club and compete in Eventing. However, within a short period of time, he began to have episodes of lameness with no clear diagnoses, and then followed by early retirement.

After many years, we moved out to the acreage and I decided that I would take a break from riding and study at Olds College in the Animal Health Technology program. During this time we were ready to bring Sam and a companion horse home and Birgitta Wilkinson of Success With Horses was made known to us through our search for a new farrier.

After graduation, I purchased my new project horse, Louie, to continue competing at the higher levels and now schooling Training and Preliminary level, jumping heights of up to 4’ and learning 1st and 2nd level movements in dressage.

As a Natural Performance Hoof Care Specialist, Birgitta approached me to consider taking a trim clinic to learn how to provide hoof care for my own horses. I signed up for the 3 day clinic which continued to peak my interest for the holistic approach to equine care and how to create functional barefoot hooves.

I am constantly reminded of the amazing changes that I have witnessed since we implemented the SWH program; Sam has returned to soundness and Louie continues to progress in his competitive training while remaining in good health. With the guidance and support of SWH team, I always feel inspired to achieve my goals. I have subsequently joined the NPHCS apprenticeship program, knowing that I too can make a difference for other equines of all sizes as they have done for my own. Success With Horses continues to provide me with confidence, new skills and opportunities to enhance my abilities to perform as an athlete and horsewoman.
