|
This Dressage Warmblood is sound for work with a special pad that has tread grips for frog traction and a custom silicone mold contouring his sole.
|
Here is a Show Jumper benefiting from having her shoes fit slightly back, under the toe. This encourages the toe to grow at a proper angle & prevents distortion.
|
|
This Jumper was lame due to a limb length disparity and hoofwall damage. I floated the damaged area (left hoof) and she now wears pads of differing angles to balance her.
|
This Horse was fit very tight by a previous Farrier. This resulted in contracted & keratinized yellow horn. I fit him properly, relieved the tension, & he is sound.
|
|
This Dressage Arab had some sore heels and a negative palmar angle, so we opted for a shock absorbing wedge pad with a Vettec liquid silicone gel pour-pad (in purple).
|
This Show Jumper is doing great
this season!
This is achieved with proper hoof prep & hot fitting.
|
|
This Warmblood Stallion has ideal conformation. I always take care to buff away & remove any hoof wall flares. Aesthetic and Functionally Sound!
|
Here is a Hunter Warmblood who performs very well in the Mustad Equi-librium Shoe. It has a convex curve for ease of breakover and the clips prevent shear forces.
|
|
Here is a Dressage Holsteiner who is going well with a European style Toe Clip and Extended Heels. He is fit wider to encourage fluid-like movement in the arena.
|
This Mare is training as a 3-Day Event Competitor. She benefits from full tread & light weight Aluminum. These are the Special Triumph Performance Shoes.

This Dressage competitor is wearing Equilibrium shoes with Leather Wedge Pads. His soles were coated in a liquid super soft pour-in pad (Vettec Equi-Pak Soft).
|
This guy damaged his hoof wall during a trailer ride. I was able to float the area to encourage healthy growth. He is doing much better in training with wide web shoes.
|
|
This Grand Prix Jumper has some bouts of arthritis, but he is doing great in a custom pad package of a Vibram shock absorbing pad and a leather wedge pad. |
These are the new Trail Edition Hoof Boots by Easy Care. I can measure and suggest the right boots for your needs and your Horse's conformation.
|
|
Here is a Dressage Stallion who wears wide web shoes with toe clips. The wide web allows for floatation and ease of movement. A nice way to encourage fluidity!
|
Here is a Jumper who needed some balancing. When we met, he was shod poorly and interfering, but I was able to correct this by forge-modifying his shoes.
|
|
When we met, this Fox Hunter required complete hoof rebuilding and acrylic-kevlar reconstruction. His hoofwall has since grown to reveal healthy, strong hoof.
|
This Horse was constantly losing shoes with the previous farrier. We shaped and fit his shoes properly, and beveled the edges nicely. No lost shoes here!
|
|
This Arabian stallion is used extensively for endurance riding. I selected the Glue-on SoundHorse Nail-less Aluminum Shoes and dyed the cuff to match the hoofwall.
|
This is a Hind Hoof from a Winter Draft-Cross Horse. Borium provides a Winter Package to allow Carriage Horses to keep their footing on icy grounds.
|
|
As seen on this WB Mare, I carefully restore balance and align weight distribution to your horse's hooves using proper & precise shoeing techniques. |
This Dressage Gelding was having lameness issues due to collapsed heels & navicular changes. He's doing well in custom made, rockered Banana shoes with a wedge. |
|
This horse was laminitic in her front right hoof, but has since recovered quite well. She was shod with Heart-Bars while healing; she now goes Barefoot. |
This TB Gelding was prescribed Therapeutic Bar shoes to address his intermittent lameness resulting from chronic heel pain in his hinds. He is now enjoying trails! |
|
We strive to make your Horse comfortable and pain free. This guy has caudal heel problems, but he is comfortable and confident in a custom-made silicone impression wedge.
|
Performance shoeing should look good and feel good for your Horse. A great fit and finished is achieved by a skilled Farrier working with a well behaved Horse.
|
|
Here is a Show Jumper who is doing very well this circuit! You will see her and her rider enjoying the competition and show at the Wellington Equestrian Festival!
|
This is another lovely Wellington WEF Jumper! She has her hooves packed with Equi-pak liquid pour-in pads for sole protection and concussion reduction. |
|
This Dressage Horse is wearing the same shoeing package as previously worn by Steffen Peters and Ravel. These are Epona shoes, known for their shock absorption!

In working closely with your Vet and Trainer, your Horse can put his best foot forward and accomplish his greatest challenges.

This Foundered Gelding is benefiting from an Equipak CS custom pour-in pad (Gel Insole) and an Aluminum Heart-Bar shoe with a nice Rolled Toe.

This Dressage Warmblood suffered from laminitis. In working with Veterinarian, we were able to intervene. I made custom welded heart-bar shoes for him.
|
