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.
