about me

My name is Christopher Collins. I was born 1978 in the heart of southern United States, Louisiana. I live in Germany since 1996 in the beautiful area of the Eifel. Since my memory serves me, I have always felt a deep admiration, attraction, respect and love towards horses. To me they are so much more than just animals. I see them as our friends, teachers and loyal, dear companions.

Let us never forget that human history depended in a big way on their service. Therefore they deserve the upmost respect and dedication of treatment. This is why, I have decided to invest my time, strength and wisdom into their service. In my search for a good way to help horses live happier lives, I came across the important topic of hooves.  As I realized the immense importance of healthy hooves, I wanted to learn more and more about them.

I had the privilege of attending the BPHC School in Stebach, conducted by one of the greatest hoof experts in Germany: Annelie Michels. In April 2018 I completed my apprenticeship with an exam and got my diploma as an hoof practitioner at the GDHK which is approved by the state.
