WELCOME!

I would like to take a moment to introduce myself.  I am a life-long advocate for the horse and believe good hoof management is a large part of good horse management. 

I base my approach to farriery on strong, time-tested theories and practices of hoof trimming and shoeing, not the latest fads.  I believe in providing the horse with the most balanced foot care based on:  conformation, the horse's job, the environment he lives and works in, and any physical limitations of the horse I need to accommodate.

This being said, I do not limit myself to just traditional farriery.  There is a host of new, and often re-newed, information for today's farrier.  I make it part of my practice to stay abreast of the latest in research and products that are available and fit them into my practice where appropriate.  The bulk of my practice is  basic trims and traditional steel shoes, but you will find horses sporting everything from handmade therapeutic shoes, to glued-on aluminums, to polymer shoes and acrylic hoof repairs.
