“I always wanted to work with big animals!”
This sentence has shaped my life. So I left:First biology studies andDoctorate at Heidelberg UniversitytheEducationstate Cowfish (NL)
In 2013 I havethe LTZ founded. My idea was to better combine the previous forms of hoof care care with the anatomy and biomechanics of the horse to lift hoof care care to a new and better level.
I had theCooperation with science and researchalways important to be able to integrate the latest findings into our training. Since 2016, LTZ has been a cooperation partner of the Nürtingen-Geislingen University of Applied Sciences and, since 2021, Mannheim University of Applied Sciences.
I also wanted to give the customer more transparency in the large field of the numerous offers for hoof care processing. Therefore, we haveDHV (Deutscher Hufpflege und Huftechnikverband .e.V.)founded.
Since 2023 I have been an author forKOSMOS-Verlag: With our books“Review”and“Having help”we are aiming to give the horse owner a help, with which he can better understand the hoof care of his horse, a big step closer.
We also focus more on digital solutions. So we have 2025LTZ-Huf-Appon the market. With it you can analyse hooves and receive editing instructions.
I would be happy if we could take you on the exciting journey to the hooves of your horses.
