Our Services

Composite Shoes

Composite shoes have come a long way! They are great alternative to the modern metal shoe. They allow for natural flexion of the hoof and leave no nail holes for bacteria can get into. They are a great option for both horse and owner to get that shod hoof result in a low impact manner.

Horse Hoof Trims

A thorough 4 hoof trim and balance. We also treat for thrush, whiteline, and any underlying issues that we come across during the trim.

Personal Bit Fitting Session

Bit fitting sessions are a personal one on one experience. We thoroughly go over your horses needs and what you have tried in the past and put together what we think will work. Then we pick out some bits and you get to ride in them while I observe both horse and rider and put together an assessment from what I see and what you’re able to tell me with each bit. We keep trying out bits until we found the one that is just right. Prices vary depending on the bit that was chosen and time taken.
