Welcome to the CEPC

Balancing the feet… with the whole horse in mind.

Our mission is to serve our family of equines and equine friends with new and innovative solutions to shoeing and hoof care, and to do so with the highest degree of excellence attainable — using the most advanced technology available, the highest degree of integrity possible, and the greatest amount of creativity imaginable. CEPC combines several lifetimes of experience with a passion for horses that transcends limitations and inspires our approach to each and every horse, one hoof at a time.
