24.01.2022 Have you ever considered equine hoofcare as a career? A good, honest living can be made by caring professionally for equine hooves (so long as you are willing to put in the hours). There is and will always be plenty of work available. Just ask anyone with horses how hard it is to find a professional hoofcarer when they need one..................Would you like to read on? See attached files for the full article.

23.01.2022 It's officially the last day of Equitana 2016!! Come and see the crew in the Grand Hall at stall 202. We are very sorry for any inconveniences caused by yesterday's muck up. We are happy to say that Andrew Bowe will be giving a lecture at 12 pm in the Classroom to make up for yesterday. 'Overcoming the Modern Paradox of Hoof Care' will try to find the middle ground between Barefoot and Shoes. ... See you all there.

21.01.2022 It is with a heavy heart, that we announce the retirement of Professor Robert Bowker from teaching for the Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy. After much thought as to what and where Professor Bowker was going to take his research, the ever increasing stresses of coming to Australia and increasing recovery times of these trips, Professor Bowker has made the decision to not come back to Australia any more. Professor Bowker has been the mainstay of the development of the... barehoofcare industry in Australia and his contribution will live on in the large body of students for whom his teachings are both the foundation and loadstone for their very careers. It has been a privilege and honour to have had Professor Bowker as part of the College since its inception in 2008. Hopefully we may be able to hook up via the internet in the future, to continue learning from Professor Bowker. Many thanks to Professor Bowker for sharing his research and guiding us on the path of learning to enable us to better serve the horses of Australia.

21.01.2022 Another great speaker, Sharon May-Davis, always great to listen to.

17.01.2022 STOP PRESS QUEENSLAND Professor Bowker Lectures in Queensland! May 11th & 12th 2019 The Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy is proud to announce 2 days of lectures by the world reknown barehoof specialist Professor Robert Bowker. Professor Bowker is head of the Hoof Laboratory Research Team based at Michigan State University and a principle lecturer at the Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy. He also has behind his name : PhD, Neurobiology, University of Pennsyl...vania, 1979 VMD, Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, 1973 BS, Biology/Chemistry, Springfield College, 1969 The studies of Dr.Robert Bowker are the cornerstone to the barefoot industry. They support how beneficial it is to manage horses barefoot and how detrimental it is to shoe horses with steel shoes or as Bob says peripheral loading devices. Professor Bowker concentrates on equine foot function at a cellular level, demonstrating the relationship between internal and external hoof structures in both health and disease. He also discusses the effects of diet, exercise and dental hygiene. In his lectures he relates musculoskeletal and fascial systems of the entire horse. His research interests focus on navicular syndrome, laminitis and upper body changes in the anatomy in terms of how our husbandry practices and their contributions affect these issues. Professor Bowkers conferences are suitable not only for hoof-care practitioners and equine therapists of all modalities (vets, musculo skeletal therapists, dentists, saddle fitters) but also for progressive horse owners who want the best for their horses. Cost : $220 Venue: Dayboro Hall, Dayboro, QLD. For registration forms please contact the Australian College of Equine Podiotherapy on [email protected] See more

08.01.2022 Have you ever wished you knew more about horses' hooves? Found Google to be a landmine of information, unsure of what to believe and what might be fiction? What works and what doesn't? Andrew and Nicky Bowe from the Barefoot Blacksmith have put together 'Barehoofcare: A Handbook for Owners (second edition)' full of interesting and useful information about hooves! For only $15 plus P&H, you can gain an understanding of the structures and function of your horses' hooves. The an...ecdotes and practical applications explained in this handbook are based on the research conducted by the highly respected Professor Robert Bowker from Michigan State University. Included in this handbook is a vast amount of information about equine hoof structure and function; how to maintain the function between your regular trims plus pictures to show you the appearance of a healthy hoof. You will learn of the various options other than traditional steel shoes that can protect your horses' hooves such as hoof boots, shells, poly shoes and tips. Descriptions, pictures, causes and treatments for various pathogens as well as hoof deformity and chronic lameness problems will ensure you are able to spot these issues early, allowing you to deal with little problems before they become big problems. This handbook also includes information on how to improve your horses' hooves through diet, exercise, terrain and paddock systems.
