This facility has always been devoted to studying all things related to the horse's foot and how those things relate to the overall soundness and performance of today's equine athlete. Now with the addition of Dr. Myers and his staff to our TEAM, we will be able to do even greater things with our research!

We desire to do so while at the same time striving to make horse ownership as cost effective as possible.

Only with the type of equipment that we have developed at The Hoof Redevelopment Center, are we able to truly understand the way the foot truly works. We are presently collecting data which may show that many of the ways we think the foot reacts to loading are just not accurate; simply handed down theories. It is that type of antiquated information that has held back progress of developing protocols in hoof care that will solve many of the issues we have been plagued with for decades.

Too much of the information relied on in the hoof care industry is based on work done with cadavres. When you remove the ability of the soft tissue (tendons and ligaments) to assist with the movement of the various structures of the limb, you fail to get accurate results as they pertain to the live horse. We use equipment to do our studies that is designed to utilize that entire horse, not simply a portion of one that is no longer alive.
