What past students say:

·       Within this year I have been able to go from tentatively trimming a friend's horses on weekends to professionally caring for over 100 horses and still expanding.  This course helped me achieve my aim of being a professional trimmer and now I am well on my way to being considered the "trimmer of choice" for my region. Martin Godwin, Dunkeld VIC.

 ·       Not only did this course provide detailed information on the equine foot on a microscopic level (Prof. Robert Bowker) to the practical aspects of physiological trimming for both maintenance and pathologies (Mike Ware, Andrew Bowe) it also focused on the horse in its entirety.  From a variety of perspectives (Dr. Mark Curtis, Wayne Anderson, Renee Pearson) we were trained as professionals to closely observe the signals in hoof, body, stance, biomechanics and behavior  that would assist us in our aim to bring about a healthy foot and long term soundness.  Marie Farr Yeppoon Qld.

 ·       Participating in the Diploma of Equine Podiotherapy was a definitive step in becoming a more competent Natural Hoof Care Professional.  I highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to devleop their knowledge to full potential in an exciting and ever- expanding industry.  Yvonne Heiser-Taylor, Bullsbrook WA'

Note: Yvonne Heiser-Taylor is now the Equine Podiotherapist in charge of overseeing the hoof maintenance for all the horses of the Western Australian Mounted Police Division. Yvonne also trains new officers in hoof care principles and oversees the transitioning any new horses out of shoes. The WA mounties use barefoot/booted horses for all their official work.

 ·     The Dip. EPT is so much more than some "how to trim course"!  The benefits realised from any course are proportional to the efforts put in and certainly the open and enquiring approach from the diverse range of quality presenters has compelled me to "put in" the required effort, with obvious results to my clients and my own horses". Duncan Mclaughlin, Tarago NSW.
