When it comes to functional hoofcare, these people are certainly worth knowing
Andrew Bowe – The Barefoot Blacksmith:
Andrew is a career Master Farrier who specialises in the barefoot rehabilitation of horses that are suffering chronic lameness at his rehabilitation facility in Yarck, Victoria.
Andrew’s journey began when he started to look for a better way to work with chronically lame horses as he wanted a long term result, not a temporary fix, and enable the hoof to function correctly.

Hoof Boots are available in a range of styles from Easycare Downunder:
My preferred choice for hoof boots is the "Epic" model as it can be used in the stable or paddock for rehabilitation, and then used under saddle for riding as a performance style hoof boot. It also allows for hoof pads of different thicknesses, increasing the comfort level for the horse.
