Equine Podiatry is the specialism in shoeless hoof care, working with and actively promoting owners to improve the health of their equine's hooves. An Equine Podiatrist works holistically, looking at the whole equine rather than just the
feet, and will be able to give advice on hoof healthy management, diet and care. An EP's key motto is 'do no harm', the hoof is a complex structure, but has the innate ability to heal itself given the right help. An EP can work closely with your vet, bodyworker and nutritionist to create an all-round healthier animal. An EP does not apply any permanent fixing to the hoof, in the UK only a registered farrier is allowed to shoe horses. https://www.epauk.org/about-equine-podiatry/
Thanks to EPA UK for providing this article. Equine Behaviour and Podiatry? Having their feet taken from them is something a horse instinctively doesn't want, but with the right approach they can learn it brings them no harm. Consistent, positive sessions lead to a calm happy horse, and a happy trimmer who can get on with the job at hand. There are many great Equine Behaviour specialists in this area following scientific based methods who I can work closely with. I have had training in the principles of behaviour and shaping to help your horse to be trimmed. Full Consultation-
A full consultation can take 45-60 minutes per horse. At each visit a evaluation form with any changes and hoof health is filled in and you will receive recommendations via email after the visit. My current charge is £40 per trim, excessive mileage may incur a fuel charge.
