Equine podiatry is the study and management of the equine foot based on its anatomy and function.[1]
The job title "Equine Podiatrist" is used by people with a wide range of backgrounds.[2] Some are veterinarians who have chosen to specialize in the equine hoof, while some are remedial farriers. There is also a new group of specialists known as an "Applied Equine Podiatrist", this specialist may have neither a veterinary nor a farriery background. This specialist works with horse owners, veterinarians, and farriers to improve the health of the hoof without the use of rigid horseshoes and by taking a more holistic approach. The designation DAEP denotes those that have achieved a diploma from the Institute of Applied Equine Podiatry.
The equine podiatrist profession can extend to include other equines, such as donkeys and mules.
A human podiatrist is not a M.D. with an interest in feet, but a separate profession with a unique education and licensing system. The use of this term within the equine community has no distinct mandatory education or certification. This can result in confusion as the horse owner is often unaware that the equine podiatrist is a self-appointed title.
In the UK an Equine Podiatrist is not a protected title but the title is accepted as a person who has fully qualified with the Equine Podiatry association UK set up in 2006 as the professional body for Equine Podiatrists in the UK. In order to qualify a person has to successfully complete a two year course and is subject to the usual professional requirements such as CPD, insurance, disciplinary procedures, further education etc.
