About Me
Joanna Seymour BSc (Hons) DAEP MIAEP
I have over 15 years experience working with horses and I currently own two New Forest ponies, aged 18yrs & 5yrs, both have never been shod and have fantastic feet thanks to AEP. They both hack on the open forest, gravel tracks and roads with bare feet, we have hunted, jumped, point to pointed and competed in long distance rides & dressage all completely shoeless.
I also have a degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Southampton (2003-2006) and in 2010 I graduated from the School of Applied Equine Podiatry with my Diploma having completed my studies with K C La Pierre in the UK and Florida, USA.
Applied Equine Podiatry (AEP) is highly successful with:
· Improving hoof health and overall well-being as a result.
· Tackling hoof pathologies such as laminitis, navicular, seedy toe etc.,
working with your vet as necessary.
· Keeping horses sound and in work without the need for shoes.
· Shoeless performance such as racing, hunting, eventing, endurance etc.

The area I cover is Southampton and the New Forest, Hampshire and surrounding areas, please contact me if you would like to book a consultation. Currently I also regularly visit the Isle of Wight and the Dorchester area of Dorset.

Am I a Farrier?
No! By definition the word 'farrier' comes from the latin 'ferrarious' literally meaning 'metal'. I have no training in metalwork, forging or the application of metal horse shoes so I am not a farrier or a blacksmith.
As a DAEP (Degreed Applied Equine Podiatrist) I have taken the time and done the hard work to gain a qualification in Applied Equine Podiatry. It is important to understand that it is not a legal requirement to be qualified in order to trim horse's feet - please bear this in mind when deciding on a hoof care practitioner for your horse. My clients benefit from my scientific understanding of true foot function and can rest assured in the knowledge that I am commited to Continuing Education Requirements (CER) that ensure my trimming method is regularly checked and my theory updated with the benefit of new scientific research. I am also fully insured.
AEP is committed to 'Whole Horse Hoof Care', I am not here just to trim your horse, I can provide advice and recommendations that will be the keystone in getting you and your horse where you want to be in terms of hoof performance and health. Please contact me with any questions!
