world in which the model of a biologically
appropriate lifestyle is widely accepted as
a the most efficient and humane method to
achieve optimum hoof health in horses.
Our Mission

Hoof Association champions hoof health and
comfort for all domestic equines.
Through education, peer-review, and support,
we strive to unify equine professionals and
promote awareness of the healthy lifestyle
paradigm as the basis for improved hoof
quality among horses
Our Values
A
biologically appropriate lifestyle is essential
to a healthy horse.
Every equine deserves progressive, competent
hoofcare.
Horses benefit from hoof protection that allows
natural biomechanical function.
Our Strategies
Develop high-quality
information exchange opportunities for hoofcare
professionals to network with colleagues to share
information and experience and as an avenue to augment
skills.
Provide a peer-reviewed list
of exceptional trimmers who are committed to keep
current with research and product development, as a
resource for the horse community to locate truly
competent natural hoofcare.
Develop educational
resources that serve the horse community with horse care
knowledge, fact validation and ongoing research.
