About The Equine Podiatry and Lameness Centre
The Equine Podiatry and Lameness Centre brings together the knowledge and skills of a team of farriers, veterinarians and specialist equine surgeons to provide dedicated, expert care for horses with lower limb and hoof problems. The Centre offers assessment, management and treatment for horses with conditions such as laminitis, navicular syndrome, canker, quarter cracks, club feet, under-run heels and angular limb deformities in young horses. In addition, our team works together to combine the art of farriery with the knowledge and diagnostic tools of veterinary science to treat and manage foot related lameness conditions.
We have access to a wide range of standard and therapeutic shoeing options for the management of hoof conditions and foot related lameness. In addition, our farriers are able to trim hooves or to design and modify shoes and pads to provide a customised solution for each individual horse’s condition and exercise requirements. Our relationship with Scone Equine Hospital, Australia’s largest equine hospital and its specialists in internal medicine and surgery means our team is at the leading edge of veterinary information and techniques related to the diagnosis and treatment of foot conditions and foot-related lameness.
