Fitting up some tiny feet for hoof boots this morning 🐴

I offfer a hoof boot fitting service with a wide range of size and styles, including Flex pony, flex horse, Scoot boot, equine fusion and Explora.

Hoof boots can be a great option, this little Shetland takes part in a hack out a few times a week and needed some extra protection.

Please get in touch with any questions or bookings.

I think this chap was a little over due for a trim !
Thankfully after a good trim he walked off a lot happier 🐎

I will let the feet recover over the next 4-5 weeks then reassess, trim and hopefully get sized up for some hoof boots.

If you are looking for some Hoof boots measured up for your horse/ pony please get in touch to make an appointment.

Fantastic image sourced from the National Army museum.

Sourcing horses
Until the 1880s, cavalry regiments were responsible for buying their own horses. In 1887, the Remount Department was created to take over this role. Animals were sourced from breeders, auctions and private families. Officers at this time still supplied their own horses.

When the First World War broke out in 1914, the Army had only 25,000 horses at its disposal. By the end of the conflict, it had purchased over 460,000 horses and mules from across Britain and Ireland, and even more from overseas.

My background

I grew up in an equine environment through my mother and uncle having horses, i learnt to ride at a young age with my four siblings but I had always been fascinated by the farrier shoeing , trimming the horses and ponies.

Once I finished school I completed my pre-farrier course at Hereford College of Technology.I then started my apprenticeship with Billy Crothers 2008 whilst going to college at Myerscough School of Farriery and obtaining my Diploma from the worshipful company of farriers in March 2014. Staying on working with Billy for 2 1/2 years then set up my own company before the birth of my son Jacob in 2016. My company is based in Soulbury just outside of Leighton buzzard I am mostly mobile but do have customers come to my forge at home if they are outside my travel radius. All types of shoeing and barefoot trimming is undertaken by myself. I am lucky enough to shoe many high level competition horses, I was awarded best shod horse at the Badminton Horse trials in 2019 on the horse Call Me Maggie May ridden by Izzy Taylor 🇬🇧 I feel very privileged to the first person to also win this award using modern materials, she was shod using 3rd millennium frog pads and anti concussion material underneath which keeps her sound and comfortable throughout the season. This was one of my life goals when growing up.
