Providing professional, reliable hoof care.

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.
