WE ARE HERE FOR YOU
SCHEDULE YOUR HORSE
While MFS will never replace ongoing hoof care, we can provide supplemental work during our school sessions. This can include lameness evaluation, general, therapeutic, or performance shoeing, as well as natural barefoot trimming. We are also willing to take on horses that have behavioral difficulties as horses are often the best teachers for our students.
​
We call our clients "guests" since the farrier experience is a little different than what you would expect from your normal farrier. Guests will enjoy low student rates on hoof care, but should also understand that it takes quite a lot longer for a beginner farrier to meet the standards that our instructors expect and require.
Drop off time is 9:30am and pickup is usually around 4pm.
Our guests are welcome to stay on site while their horse is cared for or they can leave and go about their day. We encourage questions and interaction with the student who works on your horse.
