We know that good farriery is about more than just shoes — it’s about understanding the bigger picture. Every horse is different, so we take the time to assess conformation, movement, workload and lifestyle before deciding on the right approach.
From routine shoeing and barefoot trimming to therapeutic support, we combine years of practical experience with traditional skills and modern thinking to keep your horse comfortable, healthy and moving well — whether you’re a happy hacker or a high-level competitor – we’re here to support your horse, every step of the way.
I wouldn’t have anyone else. His knowledge is amazing and he’s constantly on courses to fine tune his skills. He shoes for the horses, not the money.
Ross is reliable, knowledgeable, and always take the time to explain what each horse needs. His attention to detail and genuine care for the horses’ wellbeing gives us complete peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy farrier.
Ross worked for me for 11 years until I retired in 2024. He is a very good farrier, was highly regarded by my vets and his horse handling was impeccable. He always conducted himself in a professional manner, was extremely reliable and above all his time keeping was second to none. I wish him and his family all the best for the future.
