Welcome and thank you for your interest in our
new blog. The purpose of this blog is to provide information on modern hoof
care from our perspective, the Applied Equine Podiatrist perspective.
As self proclaimed Applied Equine Podiatrists, we are neither farrier nor
trimmer, but instead we are hoof care professionals offering services based on the
theories and principles of an emerging science.
We
want to make it clear that we are not bare footers, or natural
trimmers. I began my career as a traditional farrier, and my practices
have evolved over the years into what is now taught internationally as
Applied Equine Podiatry. www.AppliedEquinePodiatry.org
One goal of this blog is to offer insight into
the principles of Applied Equine Podiatry.
Another
is to help in altering current industry perspectives. We have had the
good fortune of traveling the world over attending lectures,
conferences, and seminars. We have also worked with, in our humble
opinions with some of the best farriers, and veterinarians in the world. It
is this exposure that has brought us to the conclusion that the
perspective held by many of the movers and shakers in the hoof care
industry today is resulting in a snail's pace procession of positive
change.
We
can't promise you that every blog post will be PC, or that a post was
not made to solicit a reaction. If we see a flagrant disregard for the
welfare of the horse, either by neglect or ignorance you can be assured
that we will offer our opinion on the matter. This blog is not being
published to be another run with the pack happy hoofer blog. It is being
published with intent and the intent is to help in altering the course
of modern hoof care. Grandiose as that may sound, the facts resound, the
hoof care industry is nearing a tipping point and the future looks
bright for the horses we are commissioned to care for.
Thanks again for joining our blog
Sincerely,
KC and Robyn La Pierre
Co-Founders of the Institute of Applied Equine Podiatry
