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.

We were dancing between the raindrops today!Everyone was a bit bedraggled, but we got to everyone who was on the schedule, so, yay! I was laughing with a customer about today's special ingredient in the hoof conditioner, or 'goop' that i make, mud. I'm sure I can find a nice way to incorporate the properties of an abrasive, natural clay...??

Hooo Wee!! The 'Bomb Cyclone' has arrived and the weather is wild! We managed to get these two Sheriff's Posse horses done this morning, but that's because they're such solid boys. Marshall is virtually unflappable, and Tater, although young, was also not much disturbed by the wild weather outside. We are now thawing out and drinking a warm beverage on the couch looking out at the storm.

Here are some of Tuesday's faces! Looks like our last fully dry day before the 'atmospheric river' hits. This next week we will be setting up only where we have a dry place to work and rescheduling the others if it's raining.

Oh boy, some of the critters were feelin' Spicey today! You could sure tell weather was coming in! We worked on so many cuties today, and then had to push off the last appointment of the day, as it was just getting unsafe to work. We are home, finished with feeding our own menagerie, and settled in to get warm. Stay cozy, folks!

Just got home after a long work day. Saturdays are always packed, those weekend appointments are prime real estate! It was perfect weather, and lots of nice animals. We had a couple nervous Nellies, a donkey, Penelope who is fairly new to our book, and a great big goober named Mac who just takes a minute to warm up. We got everybody done and looking good, and had great conversations along the way. We are tired but grateful for this awesome life we lead.🐎❤️🫏

We welcomed a couple new clients to the family today! MeToo is the cutest 'do anything for his tiny human' pony, and he wears shoes, so he can carry her wherever she wants to go. Then there is Elias, a yearling with personality plus, who I expect will grow into an amazing horse! (It's always neat to see horse people raising tiny horse people, too.)😁

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.
