Equine Lameness Prevention Organization

Professionalism

The Equine Lameness Prevention Organization is a strong advocate for the professional and ethical treatment of horses. A part of the mission of the ELPO and its members is to develop, apply, and maintain guidelines for conduct as professional hoof care providers. These guidelines place the health and well-being of the horse as our main objective, both from a soundness perspective and in the manner in which the horse is treated. Ethical and professional conduct towards one’s peers and cooperation with other hoof care professionals are also a priority and highly encourage by the ELPO membership. By constantly striving to achieve and maintain these standards, we hope to see improvements in both equine soundness and health, as well as success and fulfillment for hoof care professionals everywhere.
