Below are examples of some of the products recommended by KC La Pierre. They have all been extensively researched by the Institute and have evolved out of a need to find a way to aid the care and performance of the domesticated horse, whilst supporting the theories on foot function within the science of Applied Equine Podiatry.

CLEAN TRAX

A programme will usually begin by first ensuring the hooves are free from infection using a solution called Clean Trax. Clean Trax is a deep, penetrating, non-necrotising hoof cleanser proven effective in eliminating even the toughest infections. Clean Trax's cleansing action purges bacteria, fungi and spores from the deepest hoof layers and crevices, removing dead powdery soft tissue remnants destroyed by fungal activity. Clean Trax may need to be used several times dependent on the level of infection present and be incorporated into the routine of care. There are hundreds of alternatives on the market claiming to rid the hoof of such infections, none of these are recommended by the Institute as being effective. I too have wasted money over the years trying to find something that works. Clean Trax used within a rehabilitation programme has been highly successful and worth every penny!.

- TIME -

THE MOST IMPORTANT DIMENSION OF ALL

TIME is not only an essential necessity for the horse to allow structures to repair and re-grow, but can be a valuable tool for the owner as well. Often when a horse is rehabilitated and is relieved from discomfort, the partnership bond between horse and owner during this process can improve and reach new and fulfilling levels. It also gives you as the owner the opportunity to observe and get to know your horse and it's hooves in greater detail as they begin to change and rehabilitate.
