Equine Podiatry is about the study of the equine hoof. It covers pretty much anything that can affect the hooves, including all kinds of lameness issues like laminitis and navicular. The hooves are very good indicators of overall health, and so you'll often see Equine Podiatry mentioned alongside terms like "a whole horse approach to hoof care".

This is because to have healthy hooves, you need a healthy horse. 

Whilst I do include a balanced trim as part of consultations, I'll also assess and advise on your horse's posture, gait, feed, exercise and management routines. I will also discuss any possible health concerns that I see, and refer you to your vet or other equine professional e.g. bodyworker, saddle fitter etc., where necessary. 

Consultations take about 45 minutes.  First appointments can take 60 to 90 minutes as there's more to discuss.

Consultations include:

• A balanced trim

• Posture, gait, health and environment analysis

• Nutrition and exercise advice 

• Hoof boot measurement and advice (if necessary)

• Photos of horse and hooves to track progress

• Full visit report including recommendations and details of what's been discussed

• Ongoing support between appointments is provided by phone (call or message) or email. 

Consultation: £45

Boot Measuring: £45 (included in consultations)

Call out fee: £0.45 per mile if over 40 miles from Nottingham - contact to discuss
