For many years I asked the same questions that many of us do – with no satisfactory answers – “Why do my horses’ feet grow so flat? Why are they so flared? Why this, why that, why?”

A couple of years back I decided to find out and so I embarked on a diploma course in Applied Equine Podiatry. Since then I have seen first hand how providing correct balance together with correct stimulus can dramatically improve a horse’s feet. One of my own horses, a 30+ year old Welsh pony, now has better feet than at any time in the 15 years that I have owned her. Quite something considering that I was on the verge of having her put down 4 years ago because she was unable to cope with the short walk from stable to field and back.

I live in Cardiff and cover South East Wales, working extensively with local vets and other equine professionals.
