Master Farrier Dennis Verdon
With over 30 years of experiance and having worked as farrier on 5 different continents, there is hardly anything he doesn`t know about hooves.
After his apprentiship in the UK, he did and additional exam to the german master farrier in Germany and was several years the head farrrier at the forge of the vet University in Hannover. In addition he was taking care of the stallions, mares and foals in the Hannoveraner Stud in Celle, as well as being the national team farrier for the german cross country team.
After he moved to the UAE, he worked with all kind of horses from racehorses over jumpers and polo ponies to endurance horses. He was several years the Team farrier for the UAE endurance team and the head farrier for the endurance World Championships 2004.
He has developed an extraordinarry eye for movement and an enormous knowledge about biomechnics in horses. over decades he is a promoter of frog support for horses and thinks barefoot would be the ideal, but if they need shoes- for whatever reason, we should strive to get as close as possible to the ideal for the horses.
Dennis was has worked several months with Monty Roberts, has done courses in Myofacial therapy and was an accoplished rider in his younger years, successfully playing Polo and competing up to 3* in eventing.
Dr. med. Vet Martina Neidhart MRCVS, DVC, CVA, CERT, CEKTT
With 2 decades of working in the veterinary field and over a decade of experience in Equine Rehabilitation and Complimentary Medicine, she brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience to the table, when helping your horse.
After her studies at the univerity in Bern Switzerland, she first worked in the national equine center, where she came in contact with the national 4 in hand driving team and had the honour to work with them for several years (the love for driving horses has stayed with her since then, (currently she is the FEI Team Vet for the UK single driving team).
After going back to University and writing her thesis, at the Szent Istvan Vet. University in Budapest, she soon knew, she wanted to focus on rehabilitation. From 2011 on she was selfemployed with her own practice for rehab, complimentary medicine and podiatry for sportshorses in Switzerland. During the last decade she worked with FEI horses in national teams for Dressage, Volting, Driving, Show jumping and Endurance.
in the last 20 years she has been traveling the world to learn new modalities and treatment options, but also to teach, or as speaker at conferences.
She belives firmly that prevention is better than healing and the earlier you can work on an underlying problem, the less likely the horse will develop lasting pathology.
She has a keen interest in Acutpuncture and all kinds of manual therapy, as well as podiatry. As experience showed her, correct biomechanics in the feet, help prevent injuries higher up in the horses body.
Having been an active dressage rider herself up to GrandPrix level, she knows how important correct biomechanics, core strength and correct training are.
