Teaching the next generation isn’t about chasing perfection, it’s about instilling the drive for excellence, the courage to keep learning, and the heart to always put the horse first. What we pass on at the anvil today becomes the standard of craftsmanship in our industry tomorrow.

💪 Behind every trimmed or shod horse, successful clinic, and smooth-running day at the barn… there’s a lot of unseen hard work. From scrubbing floors to power washing walls, we take pride in keeping our facility clean, safe, and ready to serve both horses and their owners.

It’s not just about what happens in the arena or under the horse — it’s about the dedication behind the scenes that keeps this whole show going. 🐴✨

🔎 Fact Friday: What to Do if Your Horse Steps on a Nail

🚨 DO NOT pull the nail out!
It may be tempting, but that nail hole is like a roadmap for your farrier or veterinarian. Removing it too soon erases crucial information:
• 📍 How deep did it go?
• 📍 What structures might be affected?
• 📍 Which direction did it travel inside the hoof?

Leaving it in place until a professional can examine it is vital for proper diagnosis, radiographs, and safe treatment.

👉 Bottom line: Call your vet or farrier immediately and keep your horse in a clean, dry area until help arrives. Acting fast—and leaving the nail in—can save your horse’s hoof and even its life.

🚫 Myth: Freedom Shoes aren't for
performance horses.
✅ Fact: Freedom Shoes ARE used on many performance horses!

🎯 The proof is in the puddin’!

👉 But here’s the key: they must be applied by a skilled farrier who understands hoof anatomy and biomechanics. The shoe alone isn’t magic — it’s the knowledge behind it that makes the difference.

📸 Thank you Brooke Buffkin for some great shots at the clinic!
