What are some good tips and sources for someone who wants to learn to trim?

I took up the challenge last July, but I started reading about hoof care before that. I started with a rasp only ( only taking a little at a time, much more forgiving then nippers ) and posted here for the expert eyes. I unfortunately didn't have a good trimmer in my area that I could study under. My 2 horses have pretty "normal" feet, with no serious issues, so I was comfortable with learning on my own as I went.

I liked ( and referred to often ) the following websites. I started by studying the anatomy and proper function of the leg, so I could better understand how things should work vs. how they shouldn't. I looked through many case studies, seeing the progress and how the issues were taken care of.

I'm still learning, but in 3 1/2 months this was my progress:
( left - July '12, 11 days after farrier trim, resized to match "after pic", black line is the same length/angle.....................right - October '12 )

I have done one trim so far! I am like you, wanting to learn myself! I did my mare's fronts. And I took pics, but they suck and probably wouldnt be useful in getting a critique. But my friends farrier said I did good! I am going to have my regular farrier be the judge of that though. And only after I get thumbs up on three trims in a row will I not ask him to come back (AND only if I continue to do well). THEN I will still have him come check twice a year, lol... Until he says to stop asking, lol...

I bo't an excellent hoof jack on ebay. Saved quite a bit of money even with more expensive shipping from US to Canada. Teaching a horse to rest it's hoof on the jack goes a long way to saving one's back.
