- The Equine Lameness Prevention Organization Hoof Mapping Protocol. This video acts as an instructional and study guide for the Hoof Mapping Certification exam through the ELPO, as well as basic information for anyone wishing to learn the ELPO Hoof Mapping Protocol. (This video is the current protocol as of 2017.) We are always making improvements in our protocols and ways of teaching practical hoof care techniques. Please visit www.lamenessprevention.org for hands-on courses and other helpful educational resources.

Thank you so much for explaining this process in detail and sharing the rationale. I've studied a different barefoot trimming method with the same principle of removing overgrowth but not with this kind of exam. I really appreciate the precision in measuring to assess the foot versus observing and interpreting.
I will be taking your course(s) some day!
Exactement ce que je cherchais comme information!!

Terrific thanks
When evaluating the frog. I have a TB who’s frog is very wide, but very flat, no central sulcus. It is flat? How should I fix this, hoof seams like a thinner sole?
Sounds like what is called a prolapsed frog, which is seen often in flatter TB type feet. You can be an indication of a Negative Plane Palmer Angle to the coffin bone. TB feet are often seen with either smaller or weaker digital cushions and lateral cartilages, which can cause a flat or even negative angle to the coffin bone. The frogs attempt to better support the back of the foot by growing larger to fill that void, but a lot of the times the frog tissue is not great and end up flattening out and just being more plump and full than dense and supportive. If the horse is having some soundness or performance issues, then this might be a place for your vet and farrier to look closer at to see if some extra measures can be done to improve the quality of the back of the foot and the alignment of the pastern. Many TB feet get by fine with the condition if the distortion stay in check, but it is something to be aware of in case you start to see any issues.
Ok on the exfoliating of sole I thought you were supposed to be much more conservative on barefoot horses than a horse that wore shoes and I thought for a horse with exceptional thin soles you only take any flaking off but otherwise leave some alone
Yes, on a barefoot you would remove very little sole material, sometimes even flaky sole. If you watch the barefoot trimming video you will get more explanations of this.
