About Me

Mission Statement:

Commitment to providing quality service, which includes timeliness, patience with young horses, and the ability to be a team player - working in concert with owners, staff and veterinarians.

Horses are my livelihood and my pastime. In my 40+ years of shoeing horses I have been fortunate enough to mentor knowledgeable farriers. I have extensive experience shoeing performance horses in the disciplines of show jumping, dressage, eventing, cutting, reining, barrel racing, and roping, as well as recreational horse. I currently own four horses and enjoy competitive roping, rodeo, working cow horse, ranch work and a great ride in the mountains.
