Welcome to the farrier resource site.
Colorado is a demanding climate for the health and soundness of our equine friends.
Alternating wet and dry periods, cold temperatures, and the lushness of the pastures in Spring
require us to pay close attention to hoof and leg issues.
This website provides resources for horse owners and farriers including clinics, mentoring, and specialized training.
|
Clinics and individual coaching offer an exceptional means of delivering valuable hoof and leg information to horse owners and farriers.
Ongoing research into issues such as laminitis (founder) and navicular provide new ways to help prevent and treat these problems.
