My name is Ralitsa Grancharova and I am a holistic veterinary surgeon. I graduated from the Trakia University in Bulgaria in 2013. I gained a large portion of my experience in Equine medicine in the Equine clinics of the veterinary universities in Hannover and Giessen in Germany. After graduation I worked as an equine veterinarian at the state owned stud farm "Kabiuk" in Bulgaria, which houses more than 600 horses.
Since 2014 after completing field training with Nick Hill in Bulgaria and Scotland I started practicing natural hoof care. 
​In 2017 I qualified as a Veterinary acupuncturist with the Chi Institute of Madrid. In 2018 & 2019 I proceeded to acquire more training in the area of TCVM by specialising in Equine Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and veterinary neurology from conventional and TCVM perspective so I could help more ways to help my small animal and equine patients. I am certified in the Balance method of veterinary acupuncture. I am expanding my knowledge in TCVM and my practise is open to treating every animal, large, small or exotic. I have an interest in herbal supplements and dietary therapy according to TCVM.
I am also a certified canine nutritionist with the Academy of canine nutrition and create diets for both healthy adult and growing pet as well as animals with health issues that have specific dietary  requirements. 
I am currently in the process of getting certified as a small animal rehabilitation specialist. 

I am a natural hoofcare practitioner. My training started with the use of shoes for horses in June 2003 when I began working alongside qualified FRC farriers who taught me the Cytek method. I was a farrier with Cytek until 2006, when my training suddenly took a drastic turn because my feelings about hoof care resonated with Jaime Jackson's work and research on wild horses. In March of the same year I started training with the AANHCP training programme. Besides Jaime Jackson, the person behind Paddock paradise and AANHCP, my other mentors included Todd Jaynes and Richard Dewry. My training did't stop there - I proceeded to travel and shadow other practitioners around Europe (Italy, France and UK). In 2009 I accepted placement in the Board of directors for the AANHCP alongside Jaime Jackson, Bruce Nock, Ann Corso and Richard Dewry.
Presently I am a registered instructor with Liberated Horsemanship. 
I have travelled around Europe, Africa, America, and Israel holding clinics, teaching other professionals and horse owners to hopefully understand a different way of managing and maintaining their equines.
My current aim is to spread the knowledge on hoof wear patterns that I have accumulated over my many years of natural hoof care experience to both other professionals and horse owners. I believe understanding hoof wear patterns can expand our understanding of the horse's movement and general health, but also suggest the best training regime, management and directly influence the best choice of complementary therapy in terms of rehab, TCVM, chiropractic etc.
