Our Customers are very important to US!

We believe strongly that we must provide prompt reliable service.
Respect for Horses, People, and Property is a must!
We strive to communicate, and work with the horse's Vet, Trainer, and mostly with the Horse Owner
It's our belief the the final say in how a horse is taken care of always is the word of the Owner




On Most Basic Concerns:
Leg Length      Toe Length    Laterial / Medial Balance
Sysmetrical       Natural Angle     Boney Column centered
                                                                  within the  hoof

After these are established we can then make adjustments to improve corrections Gait & Stance
Each Equine has its own needs
  • We strive to provide professional trimming and/or shoeing services custom tailored to your individual horse
  • We have studied most of the popular procedures for scientific merit.
  • We do not subscribe to a particular "brand" of shoeing or trimming methodology.   
  • We do not "follow" the same procedure on every horse because no procedure works on every horse.
  • We have experience in evaluating each horse's conformation, environment, nutrition, and work & rest habits to achieve a proper hoof care program designed specifically for that horse.
It is our experience and extensive education in
anatomy
          biomechanics
                  equine locomotion
                                                     that allows us to:
Determine your horse's true hoof care needs
Design a hoof care program according to the current conditions
Adapt or change the program at each appointment based on current conditions.

We don't just trim away growth ~ We mold future growth





We do not turn away horses with behavior problems
as long as it's safe and our clients are committed to working toward a solution.
We have a record of success delivering quality hoof care to horses with behavior problems
Shoes are a tool!
We shoe many equines, the majority are shoeless             
         
      Shoes could be used when there is a need for                         





We believe to use shoes or not to use shoes is the choice of the owner
We make recommendations based on our education and experiences

Trimming and shoeing affect the horse in several ways:

1. It can alter the pattern of force transmission through the foot.
2. It can alter the motion of the foot in flight.
3. It can result in conformational changes in the leg. back. & the entire equine
Remember ~~ Foot structurehape can be easily changed - anatomy can't ~~
For each foot there is a specific conformation (shape) that provides maximum strength.
Maximum strength means the foot's ability to withstand, accept, absorb, dissipate and transmit loading (weight bearing) forces in a manner that offers the greatest protection to the horse
This principle implies that there is some combination of foot size, foot shape, wall length and angles that make the foot an ideal shock absorbing, weight-bearing structure.
It is the proper combination of these variables with careful consideration of proper movement throughout each gait matched to allow each limb to move in proper sync with each other limb, that we recognize as the
properly balanced foot.
Which allows the horse to perform at it's best and safest!
leading to a happy horse which makes a happy rider!
