The Hoof Redevelopment Center is a place where the thought process is 'outside the box' when it comes to getting the best out of your horses. It is a place that can help your horses give you the best in the show ring, on the trail, or what ever you desire for them to do.
The Hoof Redevelopment Center is a place where you can bring your horse when "ordinary, customary, and traditional" approaches to your lameness and performance issues have not brought you the desired results!
At The Hoof Redevelopment Center, we specialize in bio-mechanical realignment of stress loads in today's sport horse, through applied technical Farriery!

Center owner Martin D. Kenny C.J.F. has been shoeing top performance horses for over 30 years and is constantly researching and developing leading edge trimming and shoeing techniques to address the issues of today's horses. Martin says,"The problem with shoeing horses 'according to the book', is seldom does today's horse read THAT book."
He goes on to say, "One of the biggest problems in horse foot care today is that we are shoeing to standards set a hundred years ago. Our horses do not live or work like the horses of a hundred years ago; I have seen changes in the way horses feet react to the way we use them in the last thirty years alone."
"We MUST adapt to the horse of TODAY, and stop shoeing the horse of YESTERDAY! We also have to stop trying to make them as the wild horse. They are NOT wild horses, they live in a completely different environment. Not to mention the fact that the wild horse would never carry 150-250 pounds on their backs doing jump after jump, and run "in a frame" or any of the things that we ask them to do. Another thing to consider is that the domestic horse lives FAR longer than the wild horse, so issues are not the same at all."
As someone once said, "The natural environment of the domestic horse is the domestic environment; we have to stop trying to treat them otherwise!" I could not have said it better.
Martin Kenny's innovative thinking and methods of studying horses feet have earned him an invitation to be a guest speaker at "The International Hoof Care Summit"
in Cincinnati, Ohio January 31-February 3, 2006, and again in 2008. As well, at the 2008 gathering he will host a class room where more indepth information will be offered than is possible in the general sessions meeting. DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!
