The fine print...

-Any expected changes in fees will be discussed before the work is started.

-Fee variations are due to horse behavior, materials and degree of correction.

-I do not normally bill for services rendered.  Payment is due upon completion of service, unless prior payment arrangements have been made. 

-Payment plans and contract services are available.

-I will replace a lost or cast shoe as soon as possible.  With the exception of foundered or certain seriously injured horses that take priority, a lost or cast shoe is usually not a medical emergency.  I ask that you notify me at the earliest opportunity.

Horse Behavior

Your horse will stand better if you do not tie your horse up for an extended period of time. If your horse is too energetic, I recommend that you longe your horse before your appointment. It is your responsibility to discipline your horse if the horse is not behaving. We work with every horse patiently.  We do not employ brutality.  The horse may smell or nuzzle, but we draw the line at trying to bite, stomp or kick.  In the event a horse bites, kicks, strikes, or pulls, we may use an open hand slap or an elbow to the chest in order to teach the horse that such behaviors are unacceptable and enforce our position as the alpha or "boss" in the horse’s world.

If the trimming or shoeing cannot be finished due to the horse’s behavior you will need to call in a veterinarian to tranquilize your horse.  This may result in re-scheduling your appointment to another day, as well as increased farrier fees.

We do not carry Ace, Dorm gel or any other sedation medication.  We also cannot administer any sedation medication to your horse.  If your horse needs sedation, you, your barn manager, or your Vet need to be present and need to stay until the horse is returned to their stall.
