Hello! I am Jess Baker, a seven year farrier in central Illinois. I graduated from the Midwest Horseshoeing School in 2014 with honors, was certified by the AFA in 2015 and started my own business in 2016. While I don't claim a specialty I love to work on trail riders and do founder rehabilitation. I have lots of experience with donkeys and mules and I will trim minis to drafts.

I have a large service area covering a good part of Central Illinois and Indiana.

Are you tired of the old K-Mart cowboy Farrier ignoring your messages or being too rough handling your horses? If you said "yes," then I'm your Gal!
I graduated from Midwest Horseshoeing School in December 2006. Then I completed a 3 year apprenticeship. Now I have 18 years experience under my belt. I can honestly say "I still love my job."
I invest a lot of time continuing my education. Whether your horse is a multiple world champion or he has only been trained to eat & be beautiful, I will trim them all with the highest standard. I advocate for horses to be allowed to remain barefoot, but sometimes shoes are necessary. I have shoed hundreds of horses, from basic keg shoes to building an elaborate stacked toe weight shoe package for upper level Saddlebreds.
Older horses may take a little longer time to trim & I respect that fact. It's imperative to be patient when trimming young horses or horses that have been mistreated in the past.
$40 per trim
$ extra for draft breeds
$ trip fee is calculated by mileage round trip
Text, email, or call for exact pricing & to schedule your appointment.

Do you want to trim your own horses? I'd be happy to teach you. In a few hours you will be able to correctly trim your own horses with confidence. Think of all the $ you'll save on Farrier visits.

*I'm also a horse trainer, proficient in a variety of disciplines*
