Member of the Brotherhood of Working Farrier's Association.

I grew up riding horses and working on farms. As I grew older I became more interested in shoeing and forging. I decided that it was going to be a career in which I am very passionate about. After I graduated The Kentucky Horseshoeing school, I became to enjoy corrective shoeing. I enjoy the challenge of looking at a lame horse and figuring out how to make the horse comfortable and rideable. I do all types of shoeing and trimming, basic and complex. I work with hunters, jumpers, eventers, dressage and pleasure horses. I'm up for a challenge and work great with vets, I analyze confirmation and how each horse moves to ensure the trim and or fit of the shoe is personalized to each horse. I will trim and shoe your horse so that it can perform at it's best. Give me a call to set up and appointment.... See More

Precision shoeing for performance and long term soundness since 1971.

As a horse owner and farrier, I understand the need for quality hoof care. I am continuously developing my skills to help your horse perform better. My clients range from rescue horses, minis, standard sizes, to large drafts. My goal is to help others learn about hoof care and the benefits of balancing the whole horse. I’m based out of central Massachusetts but I do travel to most of the New England States. Also in my spare time I volunteer at the Central New England Equine Rescue www.cneer.com. I can also be contacted at www.mafarrier.com... See More
