Meet the farrier who started it all

Derek Poupard is the owner and inventor of 3D HoofCare and HoofCast. Having spent most of his career ambitiously trying to improve the quality of a horse's hoof, his latest efforts have shown positive results in a very short time frame.



Derek's hard work and dedication paid off when he was honored with induction into the prestigious International Horseshoeing Hall of Fame in 2024.

Derek started a barefoot program in Dubai on racehorses with compromised feet. The results and performance of this program was astounding with horses in this program going on to win multiple Derby’s, Breeders Cups and Classic Grade 1 races including Horse of the Year in 2021.

Through the use of learning and incorporating the latest technologies of CAD designing and then 3D printing prototypes to perfect and create the line of 3D HoofCare pads we see today, the goal was to emulate the horse hoof in its natural state of being barefoot.

With the use of his products, horses around the world are able to reach their full potential in a way that's never been seen before.
