LIFELONG SOUNDNESS

Equine Podiotherapy is the maintenance and rehabilitation of the equine foot by the application of physiologically correct trimming which respect the role of orthopedics in sustaining lifelong soundness.
The equine hoof has been made by nature to function in a certain way, and I trim each hoof keeping this idea always in mind. My job as a hoofcare professional is to help your horse have the best hooves possible.

Servicing areas: SE South Australia & Western Victoria - Mount Gambier, Penola, Coonawarra, Tarpeena, Glencoe, Millicent, Casterton, Dergholm, Wrattonbully, Edenhope and in between these locations.

Basic Trimming Guide for the Horse Owner

It's possible for the horse owner to help encourage good feet for their own horse/s. If a very basic maintenance trim is done every 7 to 14 days with a rasp we can ensure the hoof is kept in good shape all year round and limit the chance of pathologies. You can make a big difference for your horses' health by spending just 15 minutes on their feet each week.
