Currently accepting new Light Horse clients within about an 18 mile radius of Onsted, Michigan.
Sorry, I no longer do Draft Horses - not in stocks - not free-legged - not at all.
Text, email, or call me so you can get hoof care scheduled or a horse needing training on my list.
Yes, I expect your horses to cooperatively stand still to have their hooves worked on
I will work with you and them if that is an area that needs improving at your barn
(using sound "horse talk" reasoning).
100% of my farrier clients enjoy the convenience of setting up their next farrier appointment when we finish with the current work. This saves us both time trying to call and keeps your horses on a regular hoof care schedule so the hooves stay in the best possible condition.
I do make stops for "just one horse."
I firmly believe that keeping horses barefoot and regularly trimmed is best
so long as they can perform their job comfortably and safely that way.
And I do shoe horses whose work requires it.

When you have a farrier appointment
I will come
as near the appointed time as possible.
If I am running a bit behind please remember
that I am taking the time to do the hoof care right
I will do the same when I get to your place
I appreciate your patience - you know how horses can be sometimes.
