Service terms + pricing

What I ask of clients

  • Your partnership! In order for me to support you as best I can, please come to me with your ideas, questions, or concerns. Communication makes a big impact on the quality of care and consideration we can provide your horse!

  • Commitment to a regular 4-5 week trim schedule for maintenance. There are some cases who will benefit from a shorter trim cycle for rehabilitation, but I do not often make exceptions for longer trim cycles.

  • A covered, decently lit, flat and clean space to trim/shoe.

  • Someone to help handle the horse while I am there, unless otherwise agreed upon.

  • Payment at the time of the trim. I accept payment via Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, cash, or check.

  • 48 hours of advance notice if you need to reschedule. If you do need to cancel/reschedule within the 48 hours, there is a small cancellation fee.

  • An understanding of my call fee structure in order to best serve my clients and their horses.

What I promise you

  • On-time arrival and a prompt notification of any delays longer than 10 minutes.

  • Shared photos and videos of your horse’s hooves and their progression at your request.

  • Honest assessments of your horse’s hooves and recommendations for what we can do to improve. If I am not sure of something, I will let you know and will consult with colleagues and mentors.

  • Appropriate handling. I do not punish horses or use escalating measures of force to make them stand for hoof care. I do my best to work within their comfort zone (physically and/or emotionally) and gain their trust.

  • Encouraging a safe environment. If a horse will not let me trim, I will not force them to be trimmed. If at any point a horse’s behavior becomes unsafe, I will stop the trim and discuss steps to take in order to try again in a safer manner. Forcing a trim will often only make things harder in the long run.

  • Support for all your questions and concerns relating to your horse’s hoof care and needs.

  • My continued education to better benefit the horses I serve through various mentorships, conferences, clinics and more.
