Farrier in Louisville, Colorado (Boulder County)

The most important decision that all horse owners make is who their farrier is. Horse shoeing and understanding lameness are a classic engineering problems to solve. Prior to becoming a farrier I was a structural engineer. Using my knowledge in engineering and design, coupled with my experience as a horsemen and professional farrier, I'll help you make a more informed decision regarding your horse's hoof care needs.

Understanding what is healthy/normal to what is distorted and unhealthy are some of the things that I focus on as a farrier. I will spend time with you discussing the mechanics of the hoof and the movement and placement of the hoof as it strikes the ground. I will review the parts of the hoof; external and internal that are required to function properly to promote a healthier, sounder, and more efficient horse. We'll discuss balance and why it matters.

If you have a horse that seems clumsy, trips, stumbles, forges; these are all classic signs that you may have a hoof related issue to solve. I can help you understand what's going on.

I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your horse's hoof care needs.... See More

TRIM, BOOT FITTING AND SHOE REMOVAL, NOT A SHOEING SERVICE

My name is Kayleigh and I'm a barefoot trimmer for horses, mules, ponies, donkeys and gentle drafts.
I am located in Northglenn and accept clients within 45 minutes of my radius.
Services I offer: rehab trims, maintenance trims and shoe removal, as well as boot fitting for Floating boots.

I am in the process of obtaining a certification through Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners. Professionals I have worked with: Leslie Carrig, president of PHCP. Philip Himanka, owner of Not Only Barefoot. Destiny Cole, owner of Elevated Equine Solutions.
I take pride in my work and strive to provide the best service I can to you and your equines. Maintaining a schedule is important to me, I typically recommend six weeks maximum and I do book next appointments same-day.
My approach to hoofcare is "whole horse": I factor in diet, environment and nutrition when working on hooves. Anything that influences the hoof health, or the health of the animal in general, I will mention. More often than not this will include diet, metabolic issues and muscle/joint stiffness.

I shoe and trim horses which do many kinds of work and perform in many disciplines. My goal is to support and enhance the natural function of the horse and the horse's hoof to enhance his agility and his ability to play and work. I do barefoot trimming and I take many horses out of shoes when that is best, as well as work with owners who use equine boots. My horseshoeing is aimed at protecting and supporting the horse with the natural function of the hoof and leg in mind. My goal is to develop and maintain a robust and healthy foot which resists disease and injury and allows the highest level of optimal function.... See More

Farrier buisiness listing. My name is Clint Micaletti. I’m a farrier out of colorado and new to Montgomery Texas. I’m a second generation farrier. I’ve been a full time farrier since may of 2012. I’m a member of the rocky mountain farriers association, Texas farriers association and also a member of the American farriers association. I received my CF (certified farrier) in the fall of 2014 and my CJF (certified journeyman farrier) the spring of 2015. I have experience with an array of different disciplines from rodeo disciplines to English and dressage. I also was fortunate to have been able to work with and learn under a very talented journeyman farrier in Fort Collins with 30+ years experience who I studied under for just shy of 3 years. He worked directly with the CSU veterinary hospital and I got to see an assortment of different lower limb pathologies and shoeing prescriptions for them. I have worked on various founder cases, tendon and soft tissue injuries as well as white line disease. my passion for this trade lies not only in my work but I’m the horsemanship and relationships I create.

AFA Certified Farrier with 12+ years experience.

Hello

I have over 10 years experience and 50+ references available upon request. I have continued education with some of the best farriers in the country and have trained a couple of farriers in the area.

I specialize in prolonging the enjoyment on your horse by:

1. Mitigating excessive toe leverage (long toes)
2. Growing back heels (that were chopped off)
3. Identifying proper shoe placement to allow the hoof to grow where it is made to grow (instead of restricting it)
4. Identifying and improving breakover (mitigating excess leverage on joints and tendons)

These are the 4 major problems people have been hiring me to solve and probably the most common amongst all horses in this area.

All of these issues can lead to contracted heels/navicular syndrome due to the repositioning of the digital cushion which is necessary to be in proper position to absorb concussion and maintain soundness.

I currently collaborate with numerous veterinarians to primarily focus on solving these issues as well as perform preventative maintenance to prevent horses from reaching these stages.

Because of inflation I am looking to cut down my drive time and fuel costs and replace some of my longer drives with clients close by.

Please text or call me as I am not on this app much.

Thanks,
Bradley
