Farrier in Eaton, Colorado (Weld County)

The most important decision that all horse owners make is who their farrier is. Horse shoeing and understanding lameness are a classic engineering problems to solve. Prior to becoming a farrier I was a structural engineer. Using my knowledge in engineering and design, coupled with my experience as a horsemen and professional farrier, I'll help you make a more informed decision regarding your horse's hoof care needs.

Understanding what is healthy/normal to what is distorted and unhealthy are some of the things that I focus on as a farrier. I will spend time with you discussing the mechanics of the hoof and the movement and placement of the hoof as it strikes the ground. I will review the parts of the hoof; external and internal that are required to function properly to promote a healthier, sounder, and more efficient horse. We'll discuss balance and why it matters.

If you have a horse that seems clumsy, trips, stumbles, forges; these are all classic signs that you may have a hoof related issue to solve. I can help you understand what's going on.

I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your horse's hoof care needs.... See More

TRIM, BOOT FITTING AND SHOE REMOVAL, NOT A SHOEING SERVICE

My name is Kayleigh and I'm a barefoot trimmer for horses, mules, ponies, donkeys and gentle drafts.
I am located in Northglenn and accept clients within 45 minutes of my radius.
Services I offer: rehab trims, maintenance trims and shoe removal, as well as boot fitting for Floating boots.

I am in the process of obtaining a certification through Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners. Professionals I have worked with: Leslie Carrig, president of PHCP. Philip Himanka, owner of Not Only Barefoot. Destiny Cole, owner of Elevated Equine Solutions.
I take pride in my work and strive to provide the best service I can to you and your equines. Maintaining a schedule is important to me, I typically recommend six weeks maximum and I do book next appointments same-day.
My approach to hoofcare is "whole horse": I factor in diet, environment and nutrition when working on hooves. Anything that influences the hoof health, or the health of the animal in general, I will mention. More often than not this will include diet, metabolic issues and muscle/joint stiffness.
