What can you expect from me as your Equine Podiatrist?

​

First and foremost the purpose of my visits is to trim and balance your horse's feet, however equine podiatry is a whole horse approach to health from the hooves up. My training has provided me with the foundations to offer insights into managing your horse’s environment, gait analysis & nutrition and I can advise you on this if you wish. 

​

With your permission I can work with other professionals who care for your horse.

​

I am a professional who places your horse's welfare at the centre of everything I do and your horse’s needs will always come first. 

 

What am I not able to do as your Equine Podiatrist?

​

Whilst I am able to remove shoes if required, I am not a farrier and cannot put shoes on.       I can measure your horses feet for hoof boots and offer advice on fitting if required. 

​

In accordance with the Veterinary Act, I am not able to offer diagnosis or carry out invasive procedures like ‘digging out’ hoof abscesses. As mentioned above, I can and am happy to work alongside your vet if needed, with your permission. 

 

What do I expect from you as a client? 

​

Providing a safe and secure space to carry out the trim.

​

Having your horse ready for when I arrive with clean feet that have been freshly picked out (your horse that is!)

​

Providing me with as much information as you can about your horse's history, health conditions, any behavioural traits and to keep me updated with any changes. 

 

     

​

As your Equine Podiatrist, openness and communication are very important to me and I expect the same from my clients. Honesty is always the best policy!
