I look forward to working with you, your trainer, and your veterinarian to find the best solution for your horse.


With over a decade of experience as a hoof care professional, I can confidently assure you that routine and correct farriery is only one part of a vital triad of things we can control. Diet and environment play equally key roles in success.  Without all three components working tandem, success is hindered. 

As a client of my practice, it is of paramount importance that my clients understand the vital role they play in providing appropriate nutrition and environmental support to to achieve the best possible hoof care outcomes. Please take the time to read my reminder emails to gain insight into my recommended keys for success.



As a long time horse owner, I understand the frustrations that can arise in trying to achieve good hoof care for your horse. As a farrier, I believe in:

Timeliness
  • Showing up on time and providing regularly scheduled care are important components of a successful farrier-owner-horse relationship. To provide optimum care, most healthy horses require a 6-8 week rotation. Although many hoofs may appear to maintain integrity and function for longer time periods, uneven wear and unnecessary stress to the hoof capsule often result.
  • The outward signs of discomfort related to infrequent care, because they are cumulative, can be subtle and difficult to identify. Your horse deserves to be free of avoidable pain, which is why I keep all of my clients on scheduled rotations. Regular care reduces your cost in the long run, as less corrective measures are necessary and you are able to enjoy the benefits of a consistently sounder horse.
Communication
  • I want my clients to understand the strategy I am using to achieve balance in their horse’s hoof and overall posture, and enjoy explaining and demonstrating the different variables I am considering.
  • I am equally interested in the challenges in your horsemanship journey, such as if your horse has difficulty picking up a lead, traveling in a certain direction, is heavy on the forehand, if his gaits lack quality or consistency, if there are challenges with agility or impulsion, et cetera. Along with other variables, these issues can be impacted by imbalances in the hoof, and different methods of balancing the the hoof.
Horsemanship
  • I believe in treating horses with dignity and respect, and in a maintaining a safe environment for both the horse and myself. If your horse has difficulty with the farriery process, I am happy to book extra time for training.

I look forward to meeting you, and discussing your horse’s needs. 
Thank you for considering me as part of your team of
