I am an Accredited Professional Farrier through the American Association of Professional Farriers( AAPF).
The AAPF is unique in requiring yearly continuing education for its members.
As a horse owner this offers you educated professionals that are well versed in modern hoof care.
Additionally, I've been named an EasyBoot Elite by the EasyCare Company and will be applying boots and shoes at the famous Tevis 100mile Endurance race in 2015.

I happily work with well mannered horses of all sizes and strive for a healthy compact bare hoof.
However, I also offer booting, and non-metal horse shoes (Epona, PolyFlex etc) as a horses comfort, performance or rehabilitation dictates.

I pride myself on owner education and communication.
