“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
