I think my favorite part is that you can clearly see my name on the chaps and shirt 🤦🏼‍♀️

Friday was a truly intense day. I was ahead of schedule, heading to a gas station to catch up on invoicing before my next client, when another driver blew a stop sign coming off the interstate driving directly into my path of travel.

I distinctly remember the moment of impact and spinning multiple times before finally coming to a stop in the opposite lane. There was an immediate sense of relief that the vehicle had stopped moving, followed by intense panic as I processed what had just happened. I went into full blown shock as I am sure those that received my calls or texts immediately after can attest.

EMT’s kindly took the photos of my truck while I was in the ambulance, so it wasn’t until yesterday, when I was able to clean out the truck, that I could see and truly grasp the extent of the damage. My truck is totaled, yet I walked away with a burn and a bruised arm from the airbag. The state troopers, insurance providers and EMT’s are in awe that the other driver and myself suffered minor injuries. Hearing how lucky we were hits hard.

Thankfully, I did not have my trailer with me and I have a back up vehicle so I am back on the road this week.

I am incredibly grateful for everyone who has reached out to offer support and a special thank you to my family, friends, the farrier community, and to my clients for your kindness and understanding.

First off, I am okay and thankful that the other driver is also okay.

As I navigate this situation and my injuries, which are thankfully minor but localized to my right arm, there will be some rescheduling for next week. I will reach out to those that will be affected, individually this weekend.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding.

Our clinic is right around the corner! If you are a horse owner or equine enthusiast curious about applying hoof casting, look no further!

Hoof casting is a simple and effective way to build hoof wall, add vertical height and solar protection. It has many uses for both the shod and barefoot horse.

During the practical portion of our clinic, participants will get to see how hoof casts are applied followed by the opportunity to practice for themselves under the guide of myself and fellow farrier

New client: first appointment before and after’s.

While this isn’t the most esthetic shoeing (darn blister packs were giving me hell) I am very pleased with the functional improvements for this TB.

I was able to trim out much of the mediolateral and heel-toe distortions before applying a Hanton shoe with a 3Dhoofcare pad for frog support and load sharing. In the after photos you may note the phalangeal alignment improvement, caudal decompression and support and postural improvements of the limb.

I look forward to seeing her progress during our next shoeing.

Scott Sullivan and I had a blast teaching at Not Forgotten Farm, LLC last weekend! Lecture topics included: anatomy- soft tissue and skeletal, conformation vs posture, biomechanics of the limb, review of case studies and more! After lunch, attendees worked with farrier tools on cadaver limbs, pulled shoes and participated in a dissection. On Day 2, two horses were brought in for live trimming. Thank you to Will and Jodie for hosting and to those that attended!

Clients that you can have a great time with, who also happen to spoil you with your favorite flavor of cupcake, are truly the best! I may not be Irish but I still got the cupcakes 😂 Thank you Kal Loveless Gin Lot Farms

We are looking forward to another excellent educational opportunity! If you are in the Virginia area and want to attend, you can register at notforgottenfarm.brushfire.com. See you there!
