Recommendations

Info

7. RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendations presented in this chapter are based on the literature review and the data of the field research. Within this section the practical advices for the association are given. They are drawn from the results, the discussion and the conclusion. It can be seen that a lot of differences and problems within the German hoof treatment sector exist. The aim should be to offer a high quality service and therefore support the horses' welfare with the hoof treatment. To be able to be a stable alternative next to certificated farriers the different parties of the alternative hoof treatment sector have to co-operate and build up a well working network. It is advisable to found an alliance of all alternative practitioners' associations to be able to communicate effectively. Although there are difficulties a consensus about quality standards and a level of basic knowledge has to be found. All responsible experts should sit together in a round table on a regular base. Due to the fact that there are no concrete plans for developing standards for alternatives on governmental side, the chance should be used to develop those and provide a plan of action to the responsible official duty. These standards should at least contain a proposal for a compulsory examination which should be executed through an independent jury. This should be done on short term. It is advisable to orientate the guidelines by the certification of human non-medical practitioners. On long term regulations for the education and certification by state should be developed. The alternative hoof treatment practitioners and experts showed a critical view onto the actual situation in hoof treatment. They see the need for improvement, but still have a very positive view into the future. The potential should be used for the benefit of the horses. Another recommendation is to aim for a better communication and networking. This will enable the exchange of information, skills and knowledge and therefore raise the quality. To develop a better communication between practitioners of different education institutes, alternative and traditional ones, events should be organised. Therefore a high level offer of courses and seminars has to be developed in cooperation with all hoof treatment experts as well as experts of related fields of knowledge. These events can be practical clinics or theoretical courses. There the different parties can demonstrate their methods of treating hooves and advising clients. A discussion about these can open up the participants' minds and knowledge can be spread. These events can also be organised as further education. Further more equine experts from related fields of knowledge can present their expertise and skills there. The social aspect should not be underestimated. A 'come together' after a seminar would also support the network, communication and co-operation between the experts and practitioners. New scientific knowledge and knowledge about new techniques and equipment should be spread. This can be done also through further education for professionals. Next to this also horse owners have to be focussed. They should have the possibility to increase their knowledge. Through this the quality of hoof treatment can be risen. The more critical and informed the people are the higher the demand for quality in hoof treatment. Therefore also seminars for this target group should be organised. Another possibility to inform people is the distribution of newsletters. Nowadays most of the people are used to the internet. Through this channel information can be distributed in a short time for low costs. These newsletters should be send on a regular base, for example each month. They can additionally contain experience reports of clients or example pictures. Figure 20: gearwheel drive for quality development 56
