The Australian Hoof Care Association was formed to highlight the work of the many trimmers who are doing outstanding rehabilitation work with the barefoot trim and we would welcome any attention from magazines to draw attention to the gentle non invasive trimming approaches that we support.  We have a Veterinary Panel and a growing membership of extremely talented people, some who have been working in the hoof care industry for many years and are happy to share their experiences and network with those starting out in the industry.
