Broussard Farrier Services

Broussard Farrier Services 35+ years experience in the traditional farrier trades combined with a modern, therapeutic approach. Science based horseshoeing that puts horses first.

My love affair with horses became a reality in the spring of 1973 in the form of a horse named Joe. He was a 3 year old pound-puppy of a horse, most likely part Quarterhorse, and I was an unruly ten year old kid. We were a perfect match. I used to love watching the farriers come out to the stables and shoe the horses, and I would stand right in the way and ask a million questions of that poor fel

low who patiently shoe'd mine. By age 16, me and Joe had grown some, and I enrolled in a farrier science class at school. The rest is history... I've been shoeing and trimming horses pretty much all over the country since then. Every horse teaches me something new, and every day is another chance to improve. Horseshoeing has changed a lot since 1978, when I first opened up shop, and I do my best to keep up with the technology, but the horses are still horses and I still love to keep em shod.

It's a beautiful day to be working outside! It's been a mixed bag today. We trimmed a few donkeys, a mule, some rescues, a mustang, and then did some front shoes on a couple nice quarter horses. It's one of those days when you realize how lucky you are to be living this life. ❤️

It was windy at the barn today! Horses get a little squirrelly when it's windy, so we triaged and put off several until next week. Here are some shots of what we were able to get done.

We had a busy day today! Lots of stops with long standing customers, mostly routine until the last one. As you can see from the pics below, Maverick got himself in a pickle and needed some fence wire extrication. Gotta love it, not many dull moments living this life!

Here are some pics of the horses we worked with today. We sure do have some purty customers!

Happy New Year! We started out with a broken leaf spring on the trailer on our way to Woodland. We carry a spare spring and tools, but it was still going to impact our day greatly, with Bob having to crawl under and repair it between horses. However, thanks to an amazing client wiith a handy hubby, Bob was able to work on a horse (with some adjustments) while the repair happened!

It's been a crazy day, first with a 40 minute road work delay getting here, then no power at the barn for the morning half, but we got everybody done! We have our own solar panels, batteries and a back up generator, just for days like this.( And hats off to the power guys for their quick work to get things up and working!)

We are out here at Silver Spur Stables this morning working on a couple horses who are in training with Brooks Equestrian. The breeze is picking up and it's gonna rain more later, but right now the forge is hot, and so is my coffee. All in all, it's a good day!

We had a busy morning! Got several horses done before we had to stop for the day. The cool thing is some of these critters got their first set of shoes from Bob 20 years ago! Our customers often become lifelong friends.

Our Story

My love affair with horses became a reality in the spring of 1973 in the form of a horse named Joe. He was a 3 year old pound-puppy of a horse, most likely part Quarterhorse, and I was an unruly ten year old kid. We were a perfect match. I used to love watching the farriers come out to the stables and shoe the horses, and I would stand right in the way and ask a million questions of those poor fellows who would patiently shoe mine. By age 16, me and Joe had grown some, and I enrolled in a farrier science class at school. The rest is history... I've been shoeing and trimming horses pretty much all over the country since then. In 2012 I married Leslie who quickly became an avid horsewoman in every aspect. With a degree in Nursing, she brings a level of care to our little team that just fits. Every horse teaches us something new, and every day is another chance to improve. Horseshoeing has changed a lot since 1978, when I shod my first horse, and Leslie and I do our best to keep up with the science and technology, but horses today are still horses and we still love keepin em shod.
