Equine Podiatry

Qualified through the Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy, I offer maintenance hoofcare through to rehab of many hoof and soundness issues. The basis of my work is barefoot, helping horses to build and develop strong balanced hooves for soundness and performance.

Equine Podiatry is about building the best hooves possible for each horse, my goal is for each horse to be sound on his own bare hooves, and for those hooves to support the soundness of the entire horse throughout his lifetime. Excellent hoof care is about much more than just trimming, healthy hooves need the right nutrients, a healthy, varied environment and movement.

I work around a regular 4 week trimming schedule for all equines in my care, this shorter schedule maintains healthier balance, prevents major distortions, helps keep on top of any issues before they become big issues, and aids in rehab cases.

I have very limited availabilty, but occasionally a spot becomes available, so if you feel our hoof care values align, please get in touch.

Barefoot Trimming

A horse who is sound on their own bare feet is the epitome of hoof health, it is my goal to help each horse develop the most robust feet they can. Building sound hooves requires a holistic approach to hoofcare; trimming which respects the internal structures and the horses individual conformation, promoting comfort for positive development, a deep understanding of form and function, aswell as how diet, environment and movement can impede or enhance barefoot performance.

Regular, quality barefoot trims from a trained professional, backed up by an owner empowered with knowledge of how to support their horse through species appropriate nutrition and lifestyle, can be the key to making barefoot work for you and your horse.
