Equine Podiotheraphy Services

Our Services & Consults

I offer one-on-one Equine Podiotherapy consultations locally, across Australia, and overseas. Sessions can be held via Zoom, phone, or, if travel and schedules allow, in person.

Online consultations give you expert insight into your horse’s hooves, visible pathologies, limb conformation, and how these factors affect performance, comfort, and long-term soundness. I can recommend adjustments to trimming, diet, and environment to help improve your horse’s wellbeing.

Please note: I am not a veterinarian and do not diagnose medical conditions. If veterinary intervention is needed, I will advise accordingly.

Barefoot Trimming

Keeping barefoot horses sound and healthy, every day

Contact us

A correctly trimmed and balanced bare hoof is the epitome of hoof health. Trimming to keep your barefoot horse sound requires extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the hoof and lower leg, plus a deep understanding of how diet and environment can limit or enhance barefoot performance.

A barefoot trim, based on the wild horse’s hoof, differs greatly from a pasture trim; a professional barefoot trim is a naturally functional trim, which promotes healthy hoof function, while respecting the internal structures of the hoof.

Barefoot trimming services include:
Set up trims
Maintenance trims
Shoe removal/transition to barefoot
Pathological hooves

Glue on Shoes

A non-invasive permanent hoof protection for the recovering or working horse

Contact us

Glue-on shoes are non-invasive when compared with traditional metal shoes that require nailing. They are a wonderful tool that can be used when your horse is unable to cope with physical demands or their hooves are in poor condition, or suffering from pain and inflammation.

The polyshoe, made of soft plastic assists in reducing concussion and provides comfort and stimulation to the hoof. When applied with acrylic glue, they can be used to build balance. The shoe itself can also be altered to reduce leverage to the internal bones and soft tissues and restore a shorter toe.

Nail-on Polyshoes

A modern alternative to traditional hoof care

Contact us

Nail-on polyshoes are an amazing alternative to metal shoes for horse owners who wish to provide their horses with comfort without compromising hoof function.

Polyshoes are wide webbed, which means they share the load between the sole and hoof wall, promoting normal concussion and healthy circulation. Polyshoes provide your horse with competition-legal hoof protection that is barefoot friendly.

Hoof Boot Consultation

Horse-friendly compromise between barefoot and shod

Contact us

Hoof boots offer a compromise between barefoot and shod. They provide protection when your horse needs it most, such as when working, and can be easily removed when you want your horse to return to barefoot.

When fitted correctly, hoof boots are comfortable and shield your horse’s hooves from harsh surfaces, supporting hoof health and longevity. Hoof boots are a cost-effective and long-lasting alternative to traditional metal shoes.

A hoof boot consultation should only be done after a fresh trim and includes measurements and hoof boot recommendations. I also stock a variety of trusted hoof boot brands.

Rehabilitation Hoof Care

When your horse needs a committed farrier in their corner for the long trip back to health

Contact us

Sadly, many horses have sore feet. A professional farrier and barefoot hoof trimmer, as part of your horse's health care team, can help you identify any underlying factors and work towards restoring healthy hoof function. The aim of rehabilitation is to return the hooves to a state of health, free from pain, inflammation and disease.

Selecting a professionally trained hoof care practitioner is imperative when rehabilitating your horse to soundness. My approach to rehabilitation hoof care can be used to rehabilitate horses from many degenerative lameness problems, including:
Laminitis
Navicular syndrome
Limb deformities
Hoof imbalances
Hoof infections (e.g. Seedy Toe, White Line Disease and Thrush).

Performance Hoof Care

Strong, healthy feet keeping
horses in work, so you can keep
reaching your goals!

Dressage
Show Jumping
