I sent out some reminder texts to clients, BUT sometimes counting to 8 is hard to do. So if I missed you and you are at 8 weeks, past or coming up on, let us know!
We have openings for winter shoe pull, trims and shoes. Holiday colors optional lol
It's Christmas time at Flying N.
We have openings the 3rd 4th 6th and 7th
We have openings for a couple head of horses this week on the 13, 14 and 16th
Just realized I had not gone through the calendar in a while, and it like I've missed sending reminders. I will be sending those out later today. Just realized I had not gone through the calendar in a while, and it like I've missed sending reminders. If you need trims, shoes pulled, or new sets let me know! Hope you have a good weekend!
Stole this from Jeremy Cook, but I couldn't have expressed it better myself.
Hey horse folks! Just wanted to que you into what some of these supplies are costing your farriers.
This is what $480 worth of supplies looks like ($477.84)
That’s 24 pairs of basic shoes, a box of rasps (5 per box) two boxes of nails, two silicone, one epoxy, and one package of mixing tips. 20 pair of the 24, are just sz ott. Most of this supply drop will typically only go 1-1.5 weeks, and there’s lots of other sizes that need to be regularly stocked.
Fuel is $4-$5 per gallon, and climbing, farrier insurance is on the rise, supplies continue to go up. Supply and demand is outrageous currently, with more horses coming into Utah, and more farriers moving out, than I’ve seen in my career. Some of the most well respected names in the farrier industry are currently injured, or retiring. So we’re all behind on our texts and phone calls.
Don’t mistake this post as a complaint or a rage post. I love my job, I’m grateful I get to do what I love, and I have some of the very best clientele in the damn state! (THANK YOU!!!) and I’m sure your guy/gal overwhelmingly feels the same!
This post is looking out for my fellow farriers (because some of them are too nice to say anything). I guess what I’m getting at is…
1. Prices are going to go up, and service ranges will probably decrease. If your farrier isn’t in the $150 range for shoes, they’re probably not making much money. If they’re not in that range, Give them a hug, a snack, and a tip, they’re probably trying to build a name, or they consider you family.
2. Be patient with your farrier. We’re ALL drowning in texts and calls, if we’re late, it’s probably because it’s been a rough day. Your horses aren’t the only ones on the schedule, we’re human, we get tired and wore out just like Eveveryone else, and farriers also deserve some down time for family and fun like everyone else too.
3. Farriers, be fair to yourselves. Go on your hunting trip, take that weekend off because you’re wore out, go to your kids game, and take time to be you. There’s more to life than making everyone else happy.
I’m fully expecting backlash on this post. But the good people will understand, and thank you for being who you are. Your farrier appreciates you more than you know. God bless y’all! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Are you due for a trim? Need to get those shoes up to par to go hunting? Let's get you on the books!
Dad's found a use for all our shoes! He's made these cool drink holders for camping/fishing (or just outside) if you are interested in any let me know!
We had a client with a birthday girl today. Come to find out her birthday was mermaid themed so her little buddy got mermaid hoof polish
Just an update, draft prices are different than standard prices.
Draft trims start at 75, and draft shoes start at 150.
Just the cost of steel for us on draft shoes is almost $50
We are opening up morning early afternoon appts Monday through Thursday again! If you need trims and shoes let us know
Now there's a before and after... One done and one not. Yikes
These little girls were too cute. The little paint was a lot worse off with her feet with the curling and had some gnarly abscesses so she will need some recovery time. If you guys are looking for a cause to put towards these girls could be it!
We are starting to book about 2 weeks out now that's springs in force. I can possibly fit a few singles in between appts. I tried to send it dinner 8 week reminders but I know it's been a tough winter for everyone. If you need to get on the schedule let us know. Thank you guys so much!!!
St paddy hooves
Love when clients go along with my shenanigans!!!
St Patrick's day hooves have begun!

Update... The green glitter is currently soaking in the polish and we shall hope it works as well as the purple did. Here's hoping.

The green glitter just arrived yesterday! Oh y'all thought I was kidding? No sir'ee I've got 2 Shades of green even!!!
We missed Valentine's but now it's our time to shine! Get those lucky horseshoes (or trims) and I'll even throw in green polish so nobody gets pinched!
We got to visit out little friends today
This last few weeks man....
We hope you all had a merry Christmas! And hope someone's got 2023 in a round pen lunging the crazy out before we all get on! Haha
