What is Equine Podiotherapy?

It is the study of physiologically justified hoof care practices that are based on current research of the internal components of the equine hoof. Its principles are aimed at enhancing correct hoof function and equine biomechanics, therefore promoting lifelong soundness.

It is NOT "method" trimming. Its paradigm is firmly grounded in equine orthopedics and takes hoof care into the 21st century.
