They always say “it’s not stupid if it works”. This little guy had a tendon injury and with his age surgery wasn’t an option as it would cost to much. But as long as I can help him bare his weight and he’s sound? He can live a happy healthy life! Cinnamon can’t put his weight down on his front right foot because of a tendon injury, so I put a foal heel extension on making an artificial “tall” heel and he happily puts full weight down with out hesitation. Now he can run around and be a horse. It’s always nice to be able to help out the ones that need it!

As I relocated from Montana to Maine, I had the privilege to meet Dr. Helmer yesterday as I work the on-site farrier at the Skowhegan fair grounds horse show. Being a farrier in a new area it’s nice to meet a veterinarian that specializes in just equine. If anyone is in need of a veterinarian, I would recommend her!

As I moved to the great state of Maine, I appreciate those who have trusted me to work on your horses! I look forward to working with you and anyone else in the future to come! A farriers job is to educate the owner on proper hoof care and to let the owner know when something needs attention. It’s my goal to answer any questions and educate you all with anything you may not understand! Have a great weekend!

It’s been a while since we had some warmer weather for shoeing. Spring will be here before we know it!

I'm goin to be honest. I'm the one who shod both of this two horses. Completely different results. And do you know why? The one to the left didn't stand still for a single second. I'm amazed i even got the shoes on. But I did. On Internet it's very easy to sit behind the screen and criticise harshly without knowing the history behind a photo. Owners can easily put out a photo on a hoof and people will say to the owner to change farrier and demand money back. Without having basic facts that the farrier who tried shoeing the horse risked his/her life to even give it a try. Be humble. Think twice. Find out the real story behind a photo. Because one photo does not tell the whole story.
