Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy
Training hoof care professionals for the 21st century
The most comprehensive Barehoofcare Diploma course in Australia
Since 2008 the Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy has been training holistic hoofcare professionals. This Diploma is the most comprehensive barehoofcare course in Australia (barehoofcare is the management of equine hooves to be kept bare or protected only with orthotics that don’t affect hoof function). The course produces therapeutically trained specialists capable of traversing the modern paradox of equine performance and longevity.

“The Diploma of Equine Podiotherapy is much more than a “how to trim a hoof” course. We have learnt how to assess the whole horse, and apply the hoof care most appropriate.
As a vet, it has given me an additional treatment option especially for those previously frustrating cases and hoof care now forms part of my treatment plan.”
Dr Alina Luff, Veterinarian
