As a Farrier working in the San Francisco Bay area I graduated from what is considered by many the worlds' best horseshoeing school in 1991. Even though I graduated at the top of the class I still felt like something was missing from the education the school was giving- I could just tell there was more to shoeing than what was being taught. The class I took was the mastery program (the most comprehensive) at a cost of 5 thousand dollars to me for three full months of the live in curriculum.

Fortunately for me and my business very soon after I came out of the school I got onto what I was looking for in regard to the truth about shoeing and I discovered for myself what the schools didn't teach. In hind sight what a relief. You see since I put this method into practice I have had a 100% 16 year track record of "Not One Single Lame Horse". Personally if I had graduated and horses became lame due to my shoeing practices I'm pretty sure I would have quit my profession. I just can't tolerate lameness least of all if it's due to my methods of shoeing.

The long story short is over the years - 16 I have experienced and witnessed many things in the field or horseshoeing. My curiosity led me to study many of (if not all) of the other shoeing methods. Returning to barns just to go check out how a horse was looking and doing from being shod by other Farriers can be very enlightening. There have been cases where my clients have lost my phone number and used other Farriers only to then find my phone number out of necessity because the Farrier they had changed to is ruining their horses and causing lameness.

Others have come back to me as clients after realizing their horse is not moving and performing as well as when I was shoeing the horse. So after witnessing all the problems and lameness happening around me by other Farriers due to lack of correct information about shoeing the whole lameness issue started to weigh in on me. As I realized how far reaching lameness is - basically its world wide I started to become saddened for the horses mostly at first but then sad for the horse owners - the people who have to live through lameness to their horses and too many times have to put their horses down.

This widespread problem of lameness and improper shoeing practices continues to date. The need to stand up and do something about this problem became more and more uppermost in my mind. After all the cross examination and researching and realization of the truth of what's happening to horses I just couldn't quietly keep shoeing horses minding my own business and not stand up to do something and work towards making a difference in the world of shoeing. Just having my horses and the horses I shoe keep sound was not enough, I have the knowledge I know the truth and I had to let it out.

Now that leads us to these articles. It's a movement - it's my movement - it's the direction I have taken, and now it's a movement you can take - for yourself - and for others. You can also take part in helping save the horses by getting this information for yourself and spreading it to every other person involved with horses.
