Scott Lampert

For over two decades, Scott Lampert has shod top-level Hunter/Jumpers, National Arabians Champions and World Champion Cutters.  A graduate of the Kentucky Horseshoeing School, Scott uses a practical approach when shoeing performance horses. Shoeing horses worldwide, Scott gained a passion to studying the effects of shoeing and the benefits toward improving soundness.  This dedication was the driving force for Scott to develop the ONTRACKEQUINE software. Using the slow motion feature of the videos and the detailed documentation of pictures, Scott developed a clear way to identify and illustrate common hoof distortion.

A professional farrier, developing the ONTRACKEQUINE software and investing in a High Speed video camera has involved Scott in several industry related research and manufacturing projects from footing to shoes. The time spent doing practical research has provided a sensible understanding of feet and how they function in real life environments. Scott has collected one of the largest libraries of standard and high speed videos of feet and the effects of ground surface.  Most recently, he has worked with the committees for the American Jockey club to obtain detailed data with regards to synthetic footing. This incredible information, along with Scott’s experience, research and practical approach to horseshoeing provides him the opportunity to enjoy his other passion; teaching and lecturing.  Awarded the “Outstanding Speaker” at the 2007 International Hoof Care Summit, Scott continues doing clinics and lecturing as well as assisting in the Lameness/Podiatry course at the University of Minnesota. Having written or contributed on several published articles, Scott continues to collect, study and research practical applications and their effects on horseshoeing and lameness.

It is with immense dedication, Scott is able to maintain balance between his passion for horseshoeing, research, developing the ONTRACKEQUINE software and most important; his family.

Mitch Taylor, CJF

Mitch Taylor began his farrier training in 1975 and has been an AFA Certified Journeyman Farrier since 1982. After receiving his primary farrier training at Colorado Mountain College, Mitch served his apprenticeship in southern California specializing in jumping and dressage horses. During the length of his carrer, Mr. Taylor has served as the President of the Registry of Professional Farrier Educators, as a member of the AFA Equine Research Committee, served on the AFA Board of Directors and served as Chairman of the AFA Education Committee. Mitch has also been chosen to be a part of the panel presenting techinical seminars as a part of the KTOB/Keeneland International Emerging Markets program.  He also serves on the Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit Shoeing and Hoof Care Committee.   

Mitch received his bachelors’ degree in Biology from Western State College of Colorado in 1983 and did his post graduate work in Equine Physiology at the University of Kentucky. As a graduate student at UK, Mitch worked as an assistant to Dr. James Rooney, the former director of the Maxwell Gluck Equine Research Center and a noted authority on equine anatomy and Biomechanics.  Under Dr. Rooney’s tutelage, Mitch performed many case studies of the equine leg and hoof in order to further his understanding of hoof and leg biomechanics and their relation to lameness. Mitch continues to pursue his interest in equine research by continually investigating equine biomechanics and how that is affected through various shoeing modalities.

Currently, Mitch is the director of the Kentucky Horseshoeing School in Richmond, KY, and received the AFA’s “Educator of The Year” award for 2007.  Among his many successful students Mitch is proud to count 4 members of the AFA US National Horseshoeing Team as well as students who have earned positions with various US equine teams, leading veterinary hospitals, university veterinary schools and have even shod Kentucky Derby winners. Mitch is an active judge at national and international farrier competitions and currently works worldwide as a noted clinician in the field of equine limb anatomy and biomechanics.  In Taylor’s work as a clinician in the field, some of the more notable events included speaking at the University of Onderstepoort, in Pretoria, South Africa, Teaching race-horse short courses for the Turkish Jockey Club in Istanbul, Turkey, Serving as the Keynote Speaker and Judge at the Mexican National Horse Congress in Mexico City, speaking the International Veterinarian and Farrier Conference in Bergamo, Italy, served as a Judge at the Ayreshire Shoeing Competition in Ayreshire, Scotland and as a clinician on several occasions at Stonleigh, England as well as presenting original research and findings at the International Equine Conference on Laminitis and Diseases of the Foot in West Palm Beach, Florida.  Working with researchers worldwide and along side his students at the Kentucky Horseshoeing School, Mitch is able to continue his interest in the area of promoting sound farrier principles to all horses.
