Hoof Care protocol, as well as promote the highest level of professionalism through our network of members.  For many professional farriers and trimmers, the E.L.P.O. Certification represents an achievement towards a better understanding of foot function and biomechanics.  For others, it signifies a specialized adjunct that compliments other certifications and achievements which highlight the necessary skills required to be a well rounded hoof care provider.  No matter what your motivation may be, the E.L.P.O. Certification Programs offer the opportunity to learn and develop practical, common sense skills that farriers and trimmers can use on a daily basis to help treat and prevent lameness, as well as improve the overall performance in horses.
