I graduated from the Pacific Coast School of Horseshoeing, an intensive two month study of the anatomy, physiology and behaviorism of horses. We crafted tons of shoes, hammering on heated raw steel to custom shape and fit each individual horses' hooves. My truck has 4 wheel drive and is outfitted with everything needed to trim and/or shoe your horses including a gas heated forge and a welder . If your horse needs more support with pads, wedges, egg bars or custom toe clips, no problem.
Taking proper care of your horse is my priority, taking care of his owner is of equal importance. When you call me, I will do you the courtesy of returning your call. When we have an appointment, I will be there. I always carry my cell phone, it accepts voice mail and text messages and I can also check my email. My time is not more important than yours and you shouldn't be kept waiting, wondering if I'm going to show. Neither should your horse.
While I'm happy to be patient and help train youngsters to learn to give their feet, I'm not really a horse trainer or disciplinarian. If your horse is reluctant or objects to someone working on his hooves, I can recommend a horse training professional who can help, her name is Kristi Fredrickson (831-663-5320). I have personally seen her change uncooperative P.M.U. mares and colts into solid equine citizens. Her methods are fair to the horses while being safe for the humans!
"No foot, no horse" holds true whether you ride Fourth Level Dressage, jump five feet, compete in Western Pleasure or timed events or can't wait to hit the trails. If your horse doesn't have healthy, well cared for feet he will have a hard time living up to all he is capable of. I would welcome the opportunity to become a part of the team that cares for your best friend. |
