Winter weather has arrived with a vengeance this week. Despite the cold morning it is a lovely winter day with plenty of sunshine.

I had an unexpected cancelation today and have time for hoof trims if anyone is in need and willing to bundle up. Call, text or message me.

The past two months have had me driving a half broken truck. The torque converter is failing in typical modern GM fashion. At some point in the near future it will get a whole new transmission. Fingers crossed it doesn’t leave me stranded somewhere without cell service in the mean time. A wonderful client set up this go fund me to help offset the cost of this lastest truck repair. I am most grateful for her efforts and all contrivutions. 💕 https://gofund.me/f8b4c9fba

I am excited for my human and equine clients participating in the NH 4-H State show this weekend. Have fun and good luck everyone. I will look forward to hearing all about your experiences at our next hoof care appointment.

They say one has to spend money to make money? Just over $200 in supplies. It doesn’t take long to do the spending part. 🤣

Gotta love this sense of humor from the UK. 🤣😂

REMEMBER, always keep your overreach boots somewhere you can find them! 🤪

Here is a unique tribute for this Memorial Day. Thank you Fran Jurga for your effort in compiling this list.

It's Memorial Day, a time to honor those who gave their lives to defend our country. I'm here to tell you about the men who did it with aprons on...and show you the names of the ones who never made it home.

Please consider this a first draft of a very important list. I hope one day there will be a memorial to American farriers who died in wars, going all the way back to Simeon Wheelock, who shod horses for American forces in the French and Indian Wars and the Revolutionary War, before being killed serving the Massachusetts militia during Shay's Rebellion.

This list is especially poignant because, in many situations, farriers were not armed (unless you count hammers, and there are some great stories about that!) and yet they were under fire. I hope this document, as it grows, will help people trying to trace ancestors, and to anyone who wishes to honor these men.

Did you know that five farriers were awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery in the Civil War and, later, the Indians Wars?

PS Please read the second post on the Hoofcare page, which adds some more farriers who died in the Civil War, including two who were prisoners of war, and one who was a farrier for the Confederacy.

After a long stretch of challenging winter weather it does look like some form of Spring is mostly and finally here. If you are in need of hoof care, either trims or shoeing please message, call or text. I do have some openings for new clients as well.

My Bemer unit can be available to do sessions for your horses as well just be sure to mention it when we confirm our appointment time.

Here is a genius tip for creating a duct tape covering for a hoof wrap.

This is how our friend and professional farrier, Shane Westman, makes hoof boot pads easier using a cutting board. Thanks for sharing this great tip with us, Shane! #farrier #horses #hoofboots
