	Barefoot Equine Management
	Background: The development of barefoot hoof care as an alternative to the traditional horseshoes. Hooves are kept manageable by regular visits from Certified Specialist Trimmers or Equine Podiatrists. The horse's living enivronment is also adapted to a more natural state. The Equine Podiatry Association was formed in April 2006 in the UK to provide a register of qualified hoof specialists The Institute of Applied Equine Podiatry maintains a list of qualified members in the UK & worldwide
