What others gained from this one day workshop
“As a total beginner to hoof trimming, the deliverance of knowledge from the modules and Fred in person was exceptional. Thank you for a great day. Looking forward to putting it all into practice. Highly recommend.”
– Julie Robinson, Gore
“Fred taught our class a lot in the one day course and doesn’t hesitate to explain any questions in great detail. Highly recommend it to anyone to do. Will be doing a refresher next time he’s in North Island.
DHI is polite and easy to deal with. They are happy to help with any issues over the phone after the course is completed. The best course and enjoyed a lot.”
– Scott Bonk, Tirau
My husband and I attended a one-day seminar with DHI and we simply expected to learn a few tips to better our trimming knowledge. But what we went home with was so much more! Fred challenged us to think outside the box of what we believed to be the causes of lameness and opened our minds to consider the cows’ health as a whole, including her environment, diet and state of mind if you will.
Since we have implemented some changes suggested by Fred we’ve seen our lameness decrease, a lot! We will be back, and we look forward to it!
– Mel, Patea
It is a really good way to learn all of the things that contribute to lameness and it is explained very well. It also helps to be able to do the practical section and know that someone is there to guide you.
– Margot, Gore
You have no idea how lameness works – do the course. It will change your mind!
– Johan, Morrinsville
Very good, I like Fred’s view on feeding and the health of the hoof.
– Kieryn, Otautau

Meet your instructor

Fred Hoekstra is widely known throughout New Zealand for his skill and experience in hoof trimming and for his ability to train others in this crucial aspect of farm management.
Originally from Friesland, Holland, Fred moved out to NZ in 1990 to work on dairy farms but quickly realized that there was an opportunity for raising the standard of Hoof care so returned to Holland, gained his Diploma in Hoof Care from PTC Oenkerk, returning to start his own business.
Fred is passionate about lameness and related issues, and gained his Instructors Diploma in 2011. He is enthusiastic about extending the availability of hoof care training workshops nationwide. He is keen to conduct further research into lameness treatment and the benefits of preventative hoof care.
For the past few years, he has also presented a 2 day course for final year vet students at Massey University on the theory and practice of hoof trimming as part of their ‘Bovine Procedures Special Topic’.
