From Mike Edwards (CP-FL):
"I would guess that Michelle was at the top, or near the top of her Boot Camp class. Excellent endurance for a beginner. By the end of the week, she was accurately completing a normal horse in 20-30 minutes. This capable mother of four is ready to earn some money. After watching her progress over five days, I realized how important it is for the students to get that two-week intensive 'jump-start.'

Training Camp of December 2009 The first 'boot camp' in the revised NHC Practitioner Training Program was a great success!

Congratulations to Michelle Bevelock, our first Certified Practioner to come out of the revised AANHCP/ISNHCP Natural Hoof Care training program. Michelle, a mother of four who had been working with her dentist-husband in his office prior to deciding to pursue a career in natural hoof care, attended the Texas Training Camp in December 2009.
From Kathy Beagle (Field Instructor & CP-WV & PA):
" I wish I had had the opportunity to spend two weeks with Jaime Jackson and then have more than just one day with my mentors. After conducting the mentorships with Michelle), I am very excited about the new program and will admit I was not sure how it would work! Michelle successfully trimmed several distorted capsules to the guidelines. These included founder cases, club foot, slight wry. She is very competent and has great comprehension of the factors that can contribute to distorted capsules. She is very good at finding the natural hoof underneath."
From Sherry Eucker (CP-OH): "After meeting Michelle, and working with her for a day, I am very impressed with the results of the BOOT CAMP. This person is very ready to take on customers. Big difference between old program and new!"
