Professional whole horse hoof care.

Description

Eagle Ridge Farrier Service offers a unique, whole-horse approach to hoof care, focusing not only on the hoof and lower leg, but the horse’s entire body, when making hoof care decisions. Whether you are looking for laminitis recovery, management of equine metabolic disorder, limb-length disparity treatment, or maintenance of your performance horse, Eagle Ridge Farrier Service can help. Having studied a broad spectrum of American, European, barefoot, metal and composite shoeing techniques I have developed a unique whole-horse approach to balancing, trimming, and when necessary, shoeing the equine hoof. I practice a team approach to managing your horse’s health and performance by working closely with the horse owners, veterinarians, trainers, and other farriers. This helps to ensure the best possible outcome when working with challenging cases and helps to keep all parties involved with and informed of the horse’s recovery or performance needs. Excellence through education has been a long standing belief of mine and something I have worked hard to encourage and support within the hoof care industry. However, this is sadly not a vision shared by many other hoof care practitioners, with only four percent of America’s estimated forty five thousand farriers attending any annual continuing education. Every year, I strive to attend several Summits, clinics, lectures, and wet labs around the country in order to stay informed on the latest techniques and products and develop a strong network of colleagues to better meet my clients’ needs. As an Accredited Professional Farrier with the American Association of Professional Farriers (AAPF), member of America Farriers Association (AFA), Land of Lincoln Horseshoer’s Association, Equine Lameness Prevention Orangization (ELPO), and annual attendee of the International Hoof Care Summit, Florida Association of Equine Practitioners, and Northeast Association of Equine Practitioners, I work very hard to foster good relationships not only with veterinarians, but other farriers and equine professionals, building a strong network of colleagues to help ensure the best possible outcome for the horse and rider.

General Info

I am a professional farrier with over fifteen years of hoof care experience . I was trained by the humble (very small) Freeburg School of Horseshoeing in Freeburg, IL, where I attended a four year long apprenticeship before traveling to study under numerous other farriers and equine professionals around the country. As a student (and eventually an instructor) in that program, I learned a broad spectrum of traditional American and European farriery as well as therapeutic, holistic, and composite hoof care principles. Since that time, I have dedicated myself to studying and working with equine orthotics to treat a wide range of limb length disparity such as clubbed hoof, pelvic rotation, dropped scapula, body discomfort, gait faults, and much more. I am very dedicated to continuing education and regularly attend clinics such as the IHCS and NEAEP and many others around the country to stay up to date with the latest research, techniques, and products. As pre-vet student I am working to further my knowledge of equine biomechanics and add many more diagnostic tools to my practice in order to better serve both my two and four-legged clients.
