A Happy New Year to you all!
I have some updating to do for this coming year. With a new year, comes new changes. With the price of supplies going up and new expenses to consider in the books, I am raising the fees of my farrier services.

I apologize if this comes as an inconvenience for current and new potential clients, but I've thought about this for some time and decided I needed to take this necessary step.

The updates in the fees of the pages has been made. Thank you for those who understand, and I hope that you all have a happy new year!

Anyone who wants to reach me for farrier work, please contact me through my phone number. I don’t get notifications for messenger on my phone from this business page.

If anyone is looking to contact me, please either leave a message when calling, or send me a text message. Most scam calls are labeled as "Scam Likely" on my phone, but there were some I've answered that looked like numbers from local areas. I hope you all understand if I don't answer right away. Thank the scam calls by regular numbers making me skeptical. 😑

Keep those horses off the sweet grass!

Once, a client remarked how good their horse was standing for me because she had bit and kicked the last farrier. I was on the third hoof.

Once, a client told me their horse had "gone through a few farriers." Another farrier told me later that horse kicked their tools halfway down the barn aisle.

Once, I finished trimming and the owner said "wow, I didn't want to tell you this until we were done, but he kicks."

Once, I had a horse kick out while I was working on their front feet. Owner was upset I wouldn't trim the hinds. I told them to go pick up a hind and show me how they do it. They got kicked in the process.

Once, or twice, or ten times, I asked a potential client upfront if their horse stood well for the farrier, scheduled a first appointment, and then found out that is a lie.

These are the stories that flash through my head when people complain about farrier prices or difficulty in finding farriers.

Our job entails a lot of work - administrative work, continuing education, hoofcare, communication, our own inner work to remain present and soft in the presence of horses....

I place my safety in the hands of other people to a certain degree every time someone holds a horse for me. The horse(s) and owner are a package deal. If you don't have your farrier's safety and best interest at heart, you should understand what really goes into this career.

It is never, ever worth it to work in conditions that give you a bad feeling. I have made mistakes and nearly gotten seriously injured a few times when I ignored my gut instinct and kept on going.

If your horse is struggling to stand safely for your hoofcare provider, ask them for suggestions. Have the vet out. Hire a trainer. Handle their feet regularly yourself. Offer pain meds or sedation for appts if needed.

Farriers need to work smarter, not harder, for our work to be sustainable and we can only do that if the client is interested in being a part of the team.

This horse needed the trim bad! And using an electric really did the trick with some effort and patience with this guy. Poor thing had been hurting in his front feet and whole time, but hopefully this will improve.
