Farrier Services

Foot care is an important part of the health and fitness of your horse. A quality hoof care program is achieved through a team approach by you, your veterinarian, and your farrier. Nutrition, environment, and exercise combined with correct trimming procedures all play a part for healthy hoof growth.

Alice "Doc" Nelson is ready to help you take care of the feet of your miniature horses. She has been providing farrier services to miniature horses since 1995.

A Zebo, named Rodeo. We trim his hooves 2-3 times a year. Tennis balls on his horns keep him from hurting the smaller animals around him.

Eeyore is a Mammoth Ass.  The breed originally comes from France. He lives on the same farm as the Zebo and gets his own hooves trimmed.
