Performance Equine Hoofcare

Access not just Ability

Rick has been a farrier for over 30 years. He has been involved in continuous education about the equine lameness and performance shoeing and believes in the motto, “Prevention is better than correction”. He has worked with several equine veterinarians in complex lameness issues with hundreds of successful outcomes. He is a licensed engineer, which dramatically helps in developing and implementing mechanical hoof care solutions. If you want the best for your horse’s hooves, it does not have to be complicated. Rick believes in solid and proven horseshoeing principles, without gimmicks or fads, and he understands that the key to soundness is regularly scheduled proper hoof care. Whether your horse is a recently adopted mustang or a high dollar performance horse, your horse will be treated with respect and the highest degree of service that they deserve.
