Royal Feeds is proud to be a main sponsor of an exclusive equine event that is set to elevate hoof care knowledge across South Africa. For the first time ever, world-renowned farrier, researcher, and educator Yogi Sharp will be hosting a one-day clinic in Johannesburg this October. This unmissable opportunity is aimed at farriers, veterinarians, physiotherapists, bodyworkers, and passionate horse owners who are passionate about improving equine welfare through evidence-based hoof care.
Who is Yogi Sharp?
Yogi Sharp (DipWCF, BSc(Hons), PGCert) is a leading voice in evidence-based farriery, known internationally for his research on hoof morphology, biomechanics, and the hoof-posture connection. A PhD candidate and founder of The Equine Documentalist (T.E.D.), Yogi has made it his mission to bridge the gap between traditional farriery practices and modern scientific understanding.
He is also the creator of the HoofmApp, a revolutionary tool for objectively measuring hoof balance. Equine professionals across the globe use Yogi’s work to improve the performance, comfort, and longevity of horses. His efforts have not gone unnoticed — he was recently named a finalist for Farrier of the Year in the 2025 Equestrian Business Awards (UK).
A Clinic Unlike Any Other
Set to take place on 24 October 2025 at Lipizzaner Hall, Kyalami Equestrian Park, this hands-on Johannesburg clinic will present Yogi’s latest research alongside live demonstrations and practical applications. It’s an in-depth look into how hoof morphology influences biomechanics and posture — and how farriery can actively support soundness and performance.
Attendees can expect to explore:
- Dorsopalmar and medio-lateral balance
- Hoof capsule morphology and loading
- Shoeing for postural and musculoskeletal health
- The kinetic chain and hoof influence
- HoofmApp in action: measuring hoof balance objectively
- Live shoeing demo and sandpit base proportion demonstrations
This whole-horse approach to hoof care is ideal for professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and stay ahead of industry standards.
