Description

In this second installment of our deep dive into applied equine podiatry, Dr. Alberto Rullan continues his conversation with KC LaPierre, a respected expert in hoof health and founder of a global training program dedicated to equine foot care. Together, they unpack the reasons why more farriers, veterinarians, and horse owners are seeking alternative approaches when traditional methods no longer produce results.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What to expect during the transition from traditional shoeing to applied podiatry
• How frog health and the digital cushion impact long-term movement and performance
• Why the “Spectrum of Usability” is used to assess and guide individualized rehab
• How applied equine podiatry fits within a team-based model of care
• Why education, not competition, is the future of foot-focused equine wellness

Stay tuned for Part 3, where KC breaks down the rigorous 18-month program that’s preparing a new generation of foot care specialists around the world.
