About Dr. Redden Dr. Redden's clinic is dedicated specifically to treating development problems in feet, as well as career and life threatening foot disease and injury. His innovative techniques and concepts have saved the lives of many seemingly hopeless cases where euthanasia is the only option. ​ For 17 years, Dr. Redden organized and hosted the annual Bluegrass Laminitis Symposium in Louisville, Ky. He has organized podiatry seminars in 22 other countries throughout the world, and in 1998, Dr. Redden was inducted into the International Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame. ​ Dr. Redden has developed a number of specialty therapeutic aluminum and steel horseshoes including Four Point™ shoes; the Four-Point, the Rail, Drop Forge Rail, the Full Rocker and the NANRIC Ultimate (Redden Modified Ultimate). He developed the method of rockering horseshoes know in the industry as "banana shoes" or "rocker shoes". He also co-designed the Dalric therapeutic foal shoes with Helmuth Dallmer in Germany. Most recently, he began teaching a five-day educational program for practicing veterinarians and farriers entitled "Equine Podiatry 101," which is recognized by the American Association for Veterinary State Boards and offers 40 continuing education credit hours. Non-Profit Organization IEPC is a non-profit organization designed to reverse the effects of equine foot disease. Our goals are to heal, reverse pain, and advance the science of equine podiatry. IEPC is affiliated with the only exclusive equine podiatry center in the horse world. Exclusive Equine Podiatry Practice An innovative approach to veterinary medicine evolved out of the efforts of Dr. Ric Redden, horseman, farrier and veterinarian, from Versailles, Kentucky. He brought a new approach to the practice of veterinary medicine that is followed worldwide. Known for his basic fundamentals and dedication to education, this concept has added a new dimension to foot science. The finite focus that Dr. Redden has utilized over the years has accelerated progress in all aspects of equine podiatry. This concept has spread throughout the horse world offering farriers and veterinarians a source of valuable information in their quest to conquer the effects of foot disease. Advancing the Science IEPC has pioneered universally accepted treatment regimes for numerous life and career threatening syndromes such as laminitis, horse founder, club feet, angular limb deformities, white line disease, prosthetic limbs and others. IEPC research and development remains a world leader on the cutting edge of technology. Projects include an in-depth study of normal coffin bone development from birth to maturity, the genetic linkage hypothesis concerning club feet, and amputee candidates with prosthesis. Education and Communication IEPC has an unsurpassable dedication for sharing knowledge. We thrive on harmony and warm working relationships that are fueled with continued education. We are committed to sharing our knowledge with those eager to learn. Our goal is to provide a source for better, more cost effective equine podiatry. IEPC sponsors the annual Bluegrass Laminitis Symposium in Louisville, Kentucky that is attended by hundreds of farriers and veterinarians from around the world. Other in-depth symposiums have been held in Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Finland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, and Norway. IEPC has an unique international consulting service that offers farriers and veterinarians a direct line of communication to state-of-the-art technique and treatment protocol. IEPC became a reality due to our dedication and commitment to share knowledge.

(Ric) Redden, D.V.M., is one of the rare individuals who is both a farrier and a veterinarian. His shoeing career began more than 40 years ago and has had a profound impact on his medical career. ​ Dr. Redden graduated from the Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio) College of Veterinary Medicine in 1974 with distinguished honors in Equine Medicine and Surgery. ​ After graduation, he developed a racetrack lameness practice focused on thoroughbreds and standardbreds. His reputation as a lameness consultant quickly spread, and Dr. Redden soon found himself traveling around the world to care for horses living with diseased or injured feet. ​ In 1983 he built the International Equine Podiatry Center (IPEC) in Versailles, Ky. It was the first podiatry center dedicated exclusively to the equine foot, and even today, it remains the only exclusive equine foot practice in the horse world.

Dr. Redden's International Consultation Service Starting at $500 How Can Dr. Redden Help You? Dr. Ric Redden, an innovative veterinarian, farrier and horseman, is on the cutting edge of technology developing ideas, products and services to meet the equine podiatry needs of your horse. The Redden International Consultation Service assists you in dealing with equine foot problems. With 35+ years of experience, this unique veterinary practice limits service to the care of the equine foot. Industry response from the practice, seminars, and symposiums sponsored throughout the world by International Equine Podiatry Center Inc., established the need for an in-depth hotline consulting service. Dr. Redden is an available source of state-of-the-art techniques and procedures concerning foot problems from angular limb deformities to life threatening laminitis. Our services are tailored to the specific needs of veterinarians, farriers, owners, and insurance companies. Consultations include interpretation, diagnosis, treatment plan, prognosis, a recommended follow-up program and communication with the responsible parties. Assisting numerous veterinarians, farriers and owners through consultations has been quite helpful for many of the low impact damaged cases. However, higher levels of damage require more in-depth instructions and one on one dialog at the time the team attempts to follow his very detailed step-by-step mechanical process. ​ Just recently he has started offering his dedicated services at a prescheduled time that is used to work closely together using Skype, face time, or simply tweaking the critical steps with back-to-back continuous x-ray control. This works quite well as most all technique sensitive protocols require good working knowledge of the task at hand and a mechanical plan with specific goals. When the vet / farrier team are not familiar and / or experienced with the mechanical thought process that is basically designed to enhance blood supply to deprived components, tying to follow his recommendations can become a nightmare. Everyone's intentions are in tune with the effort but there is a very steep learning curve when applying mechanics using x-rays as blueprints. This is how it works for all concerned to gain optimum benefits. ​ It starts with a routine consultation with a short but precise history, complaint, and current x-ray images relative to the particular issue. Venograms are requested when indicated and a short video revealing body language and lameness scale. This sets the stage for the basic recommendations, the urgency of the issue, and degree of difficulty that may be encountered following his recommendations. ​ This phase of the consultation is $500 ​ If the one on one, dedicated, prescheduled walk through the process is indicated and elected we set a time and requirements of preparation. ​ This step-by-step process can be time consuming for all concerned; therefore, scheduling a specific time for him and the vet/farrier team must be considered. This phase of the consultation is $500. This service has offered favorable reviews from the teams that otherwise would struggle in their attempt to adequately optimize the healing environment. Like most all other maladies affecting man or animal our first effort can be the most effective. The smallest mechanical detail makes the greatest difference. ​ Consultation Procedure Direct line communication with your attending veterinarian and farrier establishes professional contact and enhances the potential for success. To better serve you, Dr. Redden needs the following: Case history (including onset of injury and cause), age, breed, intended use, medication, prior treatment and response of your horse. Immediate and long-term goals need to be considered. A recent video and/or photographs of your horse. The video should reveal the extent of lameness, body language and eye expression when indicated. Very lame horses need to take only a step or two. CAUTION: Do not walk lame horses excessively. Dr. Redden needs to see specific detailed characteristics of your horse's foot/feet. When videoing or photographing the sides, front and rear of the foot, place the camera at ground level to prevent birds eye view distortion. Naming your photos i.e. left front medial or right front lateral is very helpful. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carefully pick up the foot and zoom in on the bottom when possible. Note: Do not force prolonged standing when bilateral lameness is involved. ​ Recent lateral and DP radiographs are essential components for all consultations. Dr. Redden requests informative current radiographs and the time span since the foot in question was trimmed or shod. He prefers that the film reveal soft tissue, as well as bone, and have wall and ground markers. It is very important that the primary beam pass through the foot at the level of the palmar surface of PIII. Please take lateral and DP views with the shoe on. If additional views are needed or requested then the shoe can be removed. The most informative views are made toward the end of the reset period. However emergencies require immediate attention. Lateral and DP radiographs are most informative when taken with low beam (just above the ground surface) and parallel to the ground surface. Radiopaque paste along the dorsal face of the hoof starting at the hair / horn wall junction is very helpful even with digital film as the actual wall is not visible and the paste reveals growth ring patterns. Please ask your vet to arrange the film so the left foot faces left and the right foot right. Also the DP views are offer flipped with digital programs and requested to be viewed as taken not flipped. Dr. Redden's Complete Consultation starts at $500 and is time dependent, often requiring ongoing calls, emails and further discussion.
