I then trained and worked with several\u00a0<strong>trotters<\/strong>, as close as possible to what performance demands: regularity, rigor, and constant attention to detail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>Very quickly, one thing became clear:\u00a0<strong>Without solid feet, nothing stands.<\/strong>.<br \/>I then trained for the profession of\u00a0<strong>farrier<\/strong>, a profession of precision, where one learns to observe, to understand, and to act correctly. Along my path, I meet Jean-Paul, a passionate farrier, with whom we travel\u00a0<strong>all of Corsica and then part of southern France<\/strong>, at the service of horses and their balance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>Subsequently, I worked within a\u00a0<strong>Grosbois is a major training center for trotters.<\/strong>, in daily contact with top-level horses. Here again, the hooves are put under severe strain \u2014 and I often find that existing solutions are too aggressive, too chemical, or poorly suited to regular use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>In\u00a0<strong>2010<\/strong>, Back in Corsica. I continue to monitor and treat\u00a0<strong>racehorses, gallopers and trotters<\/strong>, with the same requirement: efficiency, respect for the horse, concrete results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>Then life throws a curveball.<br \/>Following\u00a0<strong>two back surgeries<\/strong>, I can no longer practice as a farrier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>But giving up horses was never an option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>That&#039;s where it was born\u00a0<strong>Hoof Oliu Care<\/strong>, a small, family-run business located in the heart of Corsica, in\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vignale.fr\/\">Vignale<\/a><\/strong>, and guided by a simple idea: to offer truly useful natural treatments, designed by a man of the field, for horses that are truly stressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>Each product is\u00a0<strong>assembled entirely by hand<\/strong>, Made from carefully selected natural ingredients. Our formulas have been developed\u00a0<strong>in collaboration with veterinarians and horse professionals<\/strong>, to provide effective and hoof-friendly care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>At the heart of our products, there is a key ingredient:\u00a0<strong>Corsican Immortelle<\/strong>. We work in partnership with the company \u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/heliosdicorsica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Helios<\/a><\/strong>, supplier of an exceptional Corsican Immortelle essential oil, chosen for its quality and remarkable properties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>And because my story is also about adaptation, another product was born from the same reality:\u00a0<strong>the foot pick<\/strong>.<br \/>After my surgeries, some everyday tasks became more difficult and physically demanding. So I designed a foot pick intended to be\u00a0<strong>practical, sturdy and ergonomic<\/strong>, in order to preserve the movement, protect the back, and maintain this essential routine: clean, observe, prevent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>Today, Hoof Oliu Care is the meeting between\u00a0<strong>tradition, know-how and nature<\/strong>, with a constant requirement: to do better, to do right, and always in the interest of the horse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>Forced by the terrain. Carried by the Immortelle of Corsica.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":2398,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5241","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hoofoliucare.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
