Barefoot News:

Dr Robert Bowker's New Research Center
The Center has been created with the lofty goals of becoming one of "THE" globally recognized equine centers in learning, practicing, promoting and researching overall horse well-being through better nutrition, foot and whole body health and disseminating this information to the many horse-owners, farriers and barefoot trimmers and veterinarians around the world. These goals will be achieved, in part, through hosting "how-to" clinics of pertinent topics of routine horse health and well being geared towards the horse-owner of all ages and the veterinarian alike by invited local, national and international speakers.

Auburn University Research
Debra R. Taylor DVM, MS, DACVIM (Auburn University College of Veterinarian Medicine) is recording and studying the results of natural hoof care on chronic laminitis cases. Ivy and Pete Ramey are currently traveling to Auburn every 3 weeks to expand the preliminary study - hopefully to include 50 horses. The study has consistently shown rotation reversal, increased sole thickness and profound improvement in levels of soundness. Several case horses have also demonstrated reversal of distal descent of P3. The goal is to publish this data as a scientific paper; it would be the first time a successful method of reversing chronic laminitis has been published.
