Sylvia Kornherr, CHBC EPTis an Equine Podiatry Technologist, Trimmer and Hoof Balance Consultant in Ontario, Canada applying current research and techniques built upon sound principals and bio-mechanics of the equine digit. This information is gleaned from world renowned farriers, trimmers, veterinarians and researchers, tops in their field. She applies the concepts of Gene Ovnicek's hoof mapping protocol, Jim Ferrie's Determination of COA protocol, Mark Caldwell's Geometrics research to visually map the foot, and Dr. Ric Redden's balanced radiograph technique to measure hard and soft tissue parameters to optimize results. Sylvia incorporates knowledge from leading barefoot studies and addresses nutrition to support overall health and hoof assist- working with vets, farriers and trimmers to assist them in achieving corrective address in the foot for barefoot and shod application. She co-ordinates a team approach, together with digitized picture series, video analysis and nutritional address for a complete balance assessment and corrective action plan.
