Wild Brumby- Photo from the The Australian Brumby Research Unit website. If you are not familiar with the Australian Brumby Research  Unit and what it means to natural hoof care now is your chance to hear all about it. This project is a part of the Australian Equine Laminitis Research Unit and headed by world renowned equine foot researcher, Professor Chris Pollitt BVSc PhD and coordinated by his PhD student Brian Hampson. The Unit was established with the aim of investigating the feral horse and applying research to improve the foot health of the domestic horse .

In an effort to increase awareness and share information, Brian Hampson will be in Los Angeles on August 14th to discuss their research and findings.  This is a fantastic opportunity for professionals and horse owners alike.  All are welcome!

I will also be on hand with a full display of EasyCare’s protective horse boots and natural horse care products. Come join the fun, I’d love to answer your questions and discuss your specific booting needs.
