Creaking Willows

&&&&&& we’re baccckkkkkkkk!

After the longest pregnancy known to the human race (not really, but felt like it), we are officially back to business, & ready to see all of our equine (and human) friends!

We’re still taking trims and glue ons, training horses and rides, as well as excersize rides!

Message me today to get on the books!

& thank you for everyone’s support and kindness while I was off.
We’re so excited our little River Lee has finally arrived and is doing amazing!

We’re happy to announce we will be adding a new little bundle to our Creaking Willows family. Over the next couple months I will continue to trim everyone I have already talked too. I will not be adding in new Equine clients until next spring, unless they stand like rocks.
However I will still continue goats, pigs, and stocked animals throughout my pregnancy.
My last training spot filled, so I will no longer be offering training rides, or any additional training spots this summer.
Lessons will still remain on the books, and I will always be accepting new clients in that department.

I will be using my off time this summer to continue my education, and work on adding steel shoes back into my regime for next spring.

I’m excited to come back stronger than ever, with new and improved skills to offer my clients.

As always thank you for being loyal Creaking Willows clients, you guys are helping me raise my tiny tots, and provide a life of growth and adventure for them. ❤️

As of right now I have one spot available for tune ups, barrel training, or c**t starting for March April and May.

If you need your steed legged up, or tuned down for your kiddo or you, don’t hesitate to let me know! 🥰

Opening my spring schedule for training horses and lessons!

For the time being I am still traveling to everyone, but an indoor space may be in the works!

$75 off if you book 5 lessons at the same time 🥰

Unpopular opinion; your c**ts should be standing damn near perfect for the farrier, before you even consider throwing a leg over 🤷🏼‍♀️

Horses, goats, pigs, & sheep 🐑

I had fun getting to trim this gorgeous girl, and her sister today!
This girl has a ridiculous amount of hoof wall, and some major klod-hoppers 😂 but she was an absolute peach 🥰

I don’t know about other farriers, but I thrive in winter shoeing a trimming!

I would much rather shoe on a 10 degree day, than a 78 degree day! 😂

Just some tips to remember!

Some tips for our upcoming sudden drop in temperature

• horses must increase their caloric intake roughly 15-20 percent for every 10-degree drop in temperature below 30 degrees Fahrenheit
• instead of suddenly adding more grain to your horses diet, add more hay, this will help them stay warm. ( horses generate body heat as they digest the fiber in hay)
• provide your horse with warm water. (45˚ to 65˚ F.)
• consider adding table salt or electrolytes to their diet to encourage water intake
• if deciding to feed a warm mash, make sure you are not adding any sudden new products such a rice bran ( this needs to be done over time) and make the meal warm not hot
• do not suddenly add in alfalfa if you are already not feeding it

Second time trimming this kiddo! Overall I’ve taken close to 8 1/2 inches off his poor hooves. The first time was a struggle, so we got to work on some stocks, & he stood so much better!
Improvements for next time, but overall I couldn’t be happier 🙌🏼

Client Appreciation!
For each referral (new client schedules consistent visits), you send my way, you will receive a free trim! Totally unlimited, & the only stipulation is the consistent schedule!
When messaging me to schedule for your first initial visit, make sure you mention who referred you!

Just my small way of showing how much I appreciate everyone being in my corner! You guys aren’t just supporting a small business, but a dream, and allowing me to help provide for my family! Without you guys, I’d have nothing.

Happy Trails!

If any of my past, or current clients would leave me an honest review, I would greatly appreciate it! 🥰

I just wanted to take another second and thank everyone that has been referring me!
In this field of work, word of mouth is our best advertisement, & one of the best ways we get clients.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

For the next two weeks I am offering a special price on tune ups, and for anyone just needing their steeds legged up for the season! Don’t be lacking in the rodeo pen just because you lack time! Let me help 😊
References and most days available!

I get asked all the time “Why should I choose a composite shoe, over a traditional steel shoe”, well here is just a few of the reasons.

While composite shoeing is typically more expensive, the benefits far outweigh the costs. If you have any questions, don’t ever hesitate to reach out.
Composites are something I am passionate about, and I enjoy educating others about the benefits of them!

Reasons to choose composites (just a few):
- Allows for vertical flexion of a healthy hoof so the heels can move independently

-Allows expansion and contraction of a healthy hoof with each footfall

-Caudal support – allows back half of the hoof and frog to be supported and engaged

-Shoe is often set back to improve break-over or a bevel can be adjusted in shoe

-No nail damage when glued on, easy on thin walled hooves

-Non traumatic means of shoe attachment when glued, for sore and laminitic horses

-Foal extensions to correct limb deviations

-Light weight

-Easy on joints and tendons

-Less concussion and shock
