ConsultationEQUINE PODOLOGY - Having begun studies of my own accord into the natural world of barefoot balance I soon realised that knowledge of the hoof alone is not enough. As such I also studied equine nutrition for two years. Unable to find an experienced barefoot practitioner, and determined to transition all my horses to barefoot health I found myself putting into practice what I was learning slowly but surely. Wanting to be sure I was doing things correctly I attended a couple of courses to find on one of them my knowledge was already more advanced than the instructor! I also learnt that some recommended, harsher, methods were not for me. Resigned to having to learn to trim myself I continued my studies, absorbing any and every information on the subject (and still constantly read any new texts or information that comes to light) until without realising it, I had become an Equine Podologist - my horses healthy hooves and those of clients being my proof. In all 6 years of study (plus 2 on equine nutrition) and lots and lots of practical work have put me in a position where I have developed my method, which works for all the hooves I have treated. It may be the same or similar as other methods. Without doubt it is also different to yet others still. But the end results are healthy natural balanced hooves.I have become an Equine Podologist through necessity. There arenīt many of us in Spain! So by offering this virtual service to clients with some basic knowledge of natural hoof care, hopefully more horses will benefit and enjoy healthy hooves.
