Just a reminder! I am not taking new clients. I said that. Then took on a handful new ones. I'm at the max. I appreciate all my clients. New ones. And the ones that have been with me over 13 years.

I am currently not accepting any new clients.

When I say my books are full. I mean they are packed.

Thank you all for all of the support!

Heads up clients- June and August will book incredibly fast. I'll be gone a bit in both months. And we know my summer is chaos. And it isn't organized. It's just pure chaos. Don't wait. Schedule now. I have a lot more shoeing, and the bulk of clients bump up to 4-6 weeks instead of 6-8.

One of my good friends and clients is making a little girls dreams come true. She partnered up with Make a Wish and will be visiting her with her unicorn 🦄 in tow. 3 hours of hair dye later he is ready to play the part. Cheers to you Peggy! Thank you for making this amazing thing happen! 💜

Some day I will trim Francesca without the use of sedation. Today we are one step closer. I believe I have been trimming her for 6 years. She used to be darted- as in vet , gun, sedative. To keep everyone safe, it was a necessary evil. Dr. Baemmert brought a dowel one day. So she's able to be poked at a safe distance. It's working flawless. Her dosage continues to decrease. And her trust in humans increases. It isn't always complex cases. Sometimes it's just a mammoth donkey feeling comfortable enough to take a treat from me.

Stella has made huge progress since the end of July. In case you forgot, Stella is my mini that I adopted from Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary . She came from a severe neglect case. Not only have her physical traumas improved but so have her emotional traumas. Any form of human affection was torture for her. I love watching her blossom. She still very much so has the pony-tude.

Show me all your pony, horse, mini, donkey, etc! I know it was yesterday. Day late dollar short.

Pretty interesting

This chart shows the insulin response of one EMS horse after a variety of feeds.

One thing that I find really cool is the difference in the response to the meals. This horse consumed the same amount of feed, but when the amount was split up into three meals instead of fed all at once, the horse's insulin level was much lower.

Carly pony was surrendered to Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary at the end of July. It was a huge team effort but we got her trimmed. She was landing flat (ish) but soon after started to break down and land laterally. I brought them home August 26th to rehab their feet. My vet did xrays September 13th and after seeing the images we made the decision to euthanize her. This takes years for the coffin bone to remodel like that. Stella is still with me. And she will make a full recovery from the years of neglect. I'll post some updates on her soon!

Good afternoon clients!

My kids start school next week. Gray is in 3k and they don't offer bussing at that age. So my schedule is going to have to be adjusted accordingly. Not much will affect my morning appointments, but my afternoon appointments will be affected. I'll be in touch with everyone that I need adjust appointments with!

Thanks!

In case you were wondering what almost $300 of farrier supplies looks like. Inflation has hit every business and it hurts.

Thanks to my pit crew for always keeping me going.

Updated Price List effective May 1st

Trims $50
Single Horse barns $60
Front Shoes $130
Full Set $170

Everything is subject to change. Specialty shoeing packages, pads, studs, drill tec, etc. Unfortunately cost of living is at an all time high. I can't do this job to break even. I wish I was upping prices cause I wanted a raise. That's not the case. My expenses need to be covered and with a profit at the end of the day. I hope you all understand. Any questions let me know!

I have been having issues with my phone. If you haven't heard back from me. Try again!

A HUGE thank you for every client that has helped me the last 15 days. The last 15 days Gray has been with me bossing me around.

Thank you to every person who has given him gold fish, taken him for rides on the ranger, read books to him, let him snuggle tiny baby kitties, given him coco puffs, haul into the house for fruit snacks, played with trucks, and entertained with gators. It means I get to keep working.

So in case you haven't heard... I no longer have daycare. The peanut is now my new boss. I am working on changing that. Until then...

Thanks again everyone for working with me! 💜

An entire week to celebrate the people that share the same career as I do. Cheers to all my fellow farriers out there! 💜
