Active Graduates

PRACTICING EXCELENCE

The Institute has graduated several hundred hoof care providers the world over in the past twenty years. Listed below are those graduates that have elected to remain active with the institute. Our active alumni are committed to “Never-Ending-Improvement”, joining us in our efforts to improve upon the modern hoof care industry.

Qualified hoof care providers are listed below. The Institute uses a star rating to illustrate the level of achievement for each active alumnus. All of our active graduates who complete Continuing Professional Development training have a star rating. 

DAEP stands for Diploma in Applied Equine Podiatry, listed below the blue star banner.

DAEP 2 represents those DAEP’s actively enrolled in our Advanced Level Program, and are listed below the silver star banner.

ADAEP represents active graduates of our Advanced Level Program, with those ADAEP listed under the gold star banner.

Our graduates do not represent themselves as medical professionals, but rather as Applied Equine Podiatrists who apply the theories and principles of Applied Equine Podiatry. Each graduate follows guidelines set forth in the Institute’s Code of Ethics . We are confident that you will find their work to be beyond reproach. Their skill and knowledge of the equine foot is extensive. They do not in any way make claim to diagnosing, or treating diseases of the equine foot. They do and will, under the authority of an attending veterinarian, provide the highest level of care possible for your horse. Hoof Care requires a team effort, and that team should include the Owner, Veterinarian, and an Active DAEP.
