Everything from

• how you keep your horse
• what you feed

• how you treat their feet
• how you exercise your horse
• even saddle fit and general health matters

will impact on the health of your equine´s hooves and therefore on performance. Good horse care is essential.

Trimming and balancing hooves is important but it is not the only secret to a sound barefoot horse. Applied Equine Podiatry brings all that together: it is Whole Horse Hoof Care.

We all love our horses (I guess or you wouldn´t be here) and we surely don´t want to do any harm to them deliberately.

But we all make mistakes!

So, do we always know what is best for them?

Only by learning as much as we can about them, can we avoid making mistakes.

With this site I want to help you to make informed decisions and to avoid problems by acquiring knowledge.

In other words: to be proactive not just reactive!
