This page is going to be geared toward information and learning . I will be posting pictures and case study's on here as well links to some good reads. It is my goal to do what is best for the horse that is sometimes tricky in this world we live in. I love to work with veterinarians and will often ask for a consult when needed rather then shoing blindly.

In this is a case we have a very bad club foot, at 6 weeks. Using one of Sammy Pittman’s 6 degree rocker shoes, we were able to add the mechanics necessary to aid the foot for better function. It is still a club foot, however functioning better and proper.

Happy to be a part of such an amazing team!
Team work is such an important part of any program! Vets, body workers and farriers all function together well to keep horses performing their best, but having an fantastic trainer makes the team run its best!

The stress of mud season is almost upon folks . As a Farrier it’s probably one of the harder times in the year, the hoof becomes soft and somewhat unstable often distorted over night it seems , shoes are much easier to “fall off” , cracks and trashy looking hoof walls seem to pop out of nowhere and so on.
There are things you can do to try and help the situation though. If and when possible bring the horse out of the mud as much as you can turn out in larger areas if possible. Move your feed spots around so not to make more mud. If your lucky enough to board indoors clean there hooves and bed them in nice dry shavings unless there is no choice I like to avoid straw, in my experience it does little to aid the hoof in moisture content.
This is probably in my opinion one of the hardest times of the year as a farrier stone bruises,abscess and tender feet can happen over night so anything you can to help is always good.

For me, one of the most important things needed to shoe a problematic horse is the X-ray.
There is so much information given in a proper X-ray. It can determine the course of action needed to properly address the issue at hand, as well as identifying issues that may become a problem in the future if not properly dealt with before they are a problem.
As a farrier, it is not my job nor my responsibility to diagnose issues, it is however absolutely my job to understand what the veterinarian sees and wants as well as what the horse needs. Understanding how to look at an image and create a plan that needs to be applied to a living structure is not always easy, but is absolutely essential!!
Not every horse needs X-rays but absolutely every lame horse does and with that comes some extra costs I know, but in the long run it always pays off.
