Healing Hooves

Healing Hooves RLM is a regenerative land management training provider founded in 2018 and based at Excelsior Farm in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Its courses teach Holistic Management, a decision-making framework designed to help land managers pursue ecological health, financial viability, and meaningful social outcomes together. Training is led by Roland Kroon, a Savory Institute Master Field Professional with decades of hands-on farming and teaching experience.

The flagship offering is a five-day Holistic Management course covering ecological literacy, holistic decision-making, livestock management, ruminant nutrition, grazing plans, financial planning, and ecological outcome verification. Participants also explore carrying-capacity measures and the potential and realities of carbon markets. The program includes practical learning grounded in a working Karoo farm, including a real-world grazing-plan case study. Healing Hooves also provides recorded course clips, a digital grazing chart tool that handles calculations, and lifetime access. Its approach connects management principles with practical tools for planning and assessing land outcomes.
