⚠️ A REMINDER FROM YOUR FARRIER ⚠️

This is what can happen in a split second.

Today I was bitten in the shoulder while working because a horse was allowed to have its head right next to mine. This isn’t just a bruise, it hurts like hell, and it could have been much worse.

Farrier work is dangerous enough. We spend our days underneath and beside 1,000+ pound animals, bent over in vulnerable positions while handling their feet. We’re trusting the horse, but we’re also trusting the owner or handler to help keep us safe.

Please do not let your horse’s head hang over your farrier while we’re working. Don’t let them sniff our face, mouth our clothing, rub on us, or “just say hi.” Even a horse that has never bitten anyone can react unexpectedly.

When I’m underneath your horse, I can’t watch what’s happening at both ends.

This bite was on my shoulder. A few inches higher and it could have been my face, neck, or ear. A hard bite, kick, strike, or sudden movement can cause a serious injury in seconds.

I love horses, and I love what I do, but my safety matters too.

So when your farrier asks you to hold your horse, reposition its head, correct its behavior, or give us some space, please understand we’re not being difficult. We’re trying to go home in one piece.

A good horse can still make a bad decision in one second. Protect your farrier.
🙏 please

Glue on shoes, humble enough to say they are not as pretty as they could be but I think they turned out good for a first try! I plan to start offering them as a service in the near future.

☀️🥵🐴This picture is obviously a joke… but this heat is 𝐍𝐨 𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐞.☀️🥵🐴

Th extreme temperatures we’re experiencing are something we all need to take 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲.

Already this season, two of our farriers have experienced heat exhaustion. Working outside in Florida is challenging enough, but many appointments also involve standing in front of a hot forge while lifting and supporting horses in the heat.

There are a few simple things horse owners can do that make a tremendous difference:

✅ Have your horse caught and ready before the appointment.
✅ Provide a covered, shaded work area.
✅ Set up fans.
✅ Have your horse fly sprayed before we arrive.
✅ Popsicles are always a bonus 😂

A horse that is well behaved, comfortable, and prepared makes a difficult job much safer and easier. Every extra minute spent catching a horse, waiting on an owner, trying to get a horse to stand still or fighting flies is another minute working in dangerous heat.

Our goal is to provide your horse with the best hoof care possible, but we also have to look after the health and safety of our team. By working together, we can make summer appointments safer and more comfortable for everyone involved.

Thank you for helping us care for your horses and for helping care for the people who care for them.

Here is a great video to show how laminae keep the foot together. And if you’ve ever hear me talk about stretched or exposed laminae. This is why it is so important to thoroughly clean out the entire hoof not just the area around the frog and to apply proper antibacterial medicines when advised.
