If a student is unable to do so, only in exceptional circumstances and at the instructor's discretion, may the Course be extended to 2 years. In the event of a missed Practicum II and certification exam, the next scheduled Practicum II must be attended, at the end of which the certification exam may be taken. Withdrawal from the Course is not permitted. Any and all Hoofcare Specialist Certification Course materials, as well as any materials handed out during Basic or Advanced Hoof Seminars, are subject to copyright laws. Unauthorized use or reproduction is strictly prohibited.
Insurance is the sole responsibility of the student.
The student must understand that working with and around horses and handling sharp tools are inherently dangerous. Neither Dr. Hiltrud Strasser or her estate, nor her designated North American Course instructor Sabine Naujoks or her estate, assume any liability for any accidents, injuries, damages or death which may occur, for whatever reason, either of or to the student, or any properties, animals, or Third Parties during the Hoofcare Specialist Certification Course or thereafter. Certification as a Hoofcare Specialist is valid for the period of one year. Each year, certification is extended for another year upon participation in an Advanced Training Seminar. Failure to re-certify results in the loss of the right to use the methods developed by Dr. Hiltrud Strasser on clients' horses, and of the title of Strasser Certified Hoofcare Specialist.
