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 worked on an interesting case today, hopefully got this guy a lot closer to his Tevis dream! It's always fun to collaborate with Doc about special cases he sees and then make the changes needed to help a horse move better.

Boxer's mama called this week, and said he was super sore and not wanting to put weight on his front feet. Well, Boxer, who normally wears shoes, had pulled them last week, cavorting in the pasture with a new mare who was added to his herd. His feet were too broken to hold a shoe properly, unless a little magic was applied. Bob fit an aluminum shoe to him, then drilled four sizeable holes along the nail line. Then attached the shoe using four carefully placed nails. Then, after wrapping the foot with cellophane, he injected a hoof glue product into the holes, which then filled all the broken spots along the hoofwall. After drying and removing the wrap, a bit of rasping, and boom! Boxer trotted happily off.

It was Odie and Polly's turn to get their feet trimmed. Today was our second time with them, and they did so much better! Especially Odie. He has decided we are okay. Like I told their mama, having a good farrier experience is important. The time you spend to earn their trust is an investment in their future.

We finished up this very windy day with these two beauties, Hope and Ben. Hope is five now, and we've been doing her feet since she was born. It's neat to watch her grow. And Ben, he is the sweetest. He really wanted to nibble Bob's pony tail today, so I had to intervene, but other than that they both stood nicely for Bob, even with the gusty wind.

Rosie got radiographs today, so we worked with a vet team from Loomis to get her a new shoe prescription. She has some lameness issues that we have been addressing since her diagnosis a few years ago, and sometimes slight changes need to be made to keep her comfortable.

We are starting with our old friends Jack and Pistol today, working down by their stalls because construction is being done at the shoeing area. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like when they finish!
**added some more pics, because the fun part is the little pasture facing this area. It's got an assortment of critters- a bull, donkey, horse, goats, sheep, etc. Made for some interesting moments!

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.
