A group was formed some time ago called the Australian Hoof Care association to support people in our situation with submissions etc. to change regulations to support barefoot competition. They were in fact instrumental in getting the A.T.H.R.A. [endurance] to change thier rules. A veterinary panel of 5 adds weight to their lobbying ability & they're happy to submit documentation to any body we have to deal with. Andrew Bowe, a Victorian Master Farrier cum committed barefooter is on their accreditation committee so is freely available - work permitting .
