We have the experience that it gives so much insight in the gait of the horse that it might be a bit overwhelming to interpret front and hind feet at the same time.

General
Of course there are! We can imagine that you want to see it in real life to be stunned by what it will show what the naked eye cannot see. We therefor organise workshops on a regular basis in various countries.
You can find the events on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/werkman.hoofcare/events or on this page.
If you want to see Werkman BLACK in action, you can also contact our team farriers: Jonathan Nunn, Berni Prins, Rickert Wijnen, Tobias Villsen, Magnus Smederöd and Javier Palancares. Sometimes they use it in their daily work and they are willing to share their experience.
Normally within an hour, there is a Quick Start Guide in the box to help you get started.

Please check the following points:

The Ring of Werkman is an animated representation of the entire stance phase: the moment of contact between the hoof and the ground. The initial ground contact, the movement during the stance phase and the direction of break-over. The Ring of Werkman shows all angles at which this occurs, for both walking and trotting, on both hard and soft surfaces.
It is the amazing Black system including tablet, remote control and two sensors for measuring the front feet in walk and trot on hard and soft surface.
