consultant in 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 to
visually map the foot, and Dr. Ric Redden's balanced radiograph
technique to measure hard and soft tissue parameters to optimize
results. She incorporates knowledge from leading barefoot studies and
addresses balanced nutrition to support overall health and hoof
assist. She works with vets, farriers and trimmers to assist them in
