Most of our clients prefer hot shoeing for their horses. Hot shoeing involves using a forge to heat and shape our shoes to custom fit them to your horses foot.  This makes for a more precise fit of the shoe to the foot. It also allows us to make modifications during shaping to improve your horse's movement and motion. Click here for more information on the benefits of hot shoeing. We also cold shoe. However, this is not preferred as the fit can not be made as precise.

We take every effort to insure that we provide the best possible farrier work to our clients. We stand behind our work with 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Every horse is meticulously balanced for optimum stance and gate.  This gives the horse the comfort, performance and soundness needed both in and out of the show ring.

Proper hoof care and a regular hoof care schedule are important for the care of a horse.
Below are photos from a case where a horse's feet were so overgrown that she was unbalanced and she was actually walking on the side of her hoof.  She was living in conditions with soft footing and the hooves had not been trimmed in about 2 years.

Over the span of my career I have developed a vast database of knowledge on injured hoof treatment and hoof repair. The mare below had a hoof crack in the toe that was all the way through the hoof line and well into the white line of the hoof. This was likely caused by the hoof being left too long between trimmings and the hoof was too dry. 

I cauterized the hoof both in the crack and above the crack This does not hurt the horse but it will stop the progression of the crack. A hoof treatment was also applied to aid in moisturizing the dry hoof.
