Welcome to Legato Farrier Service!

My name is Rachel Stankaitis, and I completed the Cornell Farrier Program in 2024. Since then, I have continued my education through mentorship and hands-on experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to keep learning from both the horses and the professionals around me.

Legato Farrier Service was founded with the belief that quality hoof care starts with a commitment to doing right by the horse. My goal is to provide individualized hoof care that supports each horse's soundness, comfort, and overall well-being.

I am excited to continue building relationships within our local horse community and look forward to sharing updates, educational content, and the growth of my journey along the way.

Thank you for following along and supporting Legato Farrier Service. I look forward to meeting you and your horses!

The truth behind the service industry

This profession teaches you a hard truth about people: most clients care about the service, not the person providing it.

As long as the horses are trimmed, the shoes are on, and the schedule is running smoothly, everything is fine. But when injury, illness, or life gets in the way, many simply jump ship to post the newest “ ISO farrier” add. The reality can be difficult to swallow when you've spent years building relationships, showing up in every kind of weather, losing sleep thinking about client horses, and putting your own body on the line to keep horses sound.

What clients often don't see are the sacrifices behind the work. They don't see the medical bills piling up after an injury. They don't see the lost income when your body won't let you work. They don't see the sleepless nights, or the stress of getting by. What matters is the service is fulfilled by someone else and they don’t have to worry.

Farriers work in pain more often than most people realize. We work through injuries, exhaustion, heat, cold, and personal struggles because animals still need care and bills still need to be paid. The physical toll is immense, but the emotional toll can be just as intense. The sleepless nights thinking how to help your horse, the texts to a colleague asking for a fresh set of eyes on a case, or the grief of losing a horse they worked towards fixing.

The truth is that in the service industry, people often value the service more than the person. When you can no longer provide what they need, many move on without a second thought. Immediate needs take priority and the uncomfortable truth is that much of our value to others revolves around what we can do for clients not who we are as people.
