My journey into barefoot began due to two of my horses needing more than the farrier could provide.  Fatty, a navicular case, had become lame in heart bar shoes and Jack, a rescued Thoroughbred, didn’t have enough foot to hold a shoe and had been given resections by the farrier to “help” his seedy toe.

After hours of scouring the internet I found out about a lecture 4.5 hours away in South Wales, being held by KC La Pierre, after that night I was so impressed with what I had heard that I decided that AEP was the way forward with my horses and contacted the nearest EP.

After working with an EP, the changes in my horses feet were amazing, and in a relatively short period of time my horses were well on the way to having a healthy and correctly functioning set of feet under them. 

I soon realised that as the owner of barefoot horses it was my responsibility to gain as much information as possible about how my horse’s feet worked.  This led me, rather unintentionally, to begin the training to become an AEP, and neither myself or my horses have looked back since.
