BALANCED TRIMS:
Genesis Farriers has always believed in trimming horses to a natural, balanced hoof whenever possible.
We strive toward achieving a naturally balanced hoof for every horse we trim whether the horse is to be shod or left barefoot.
SHOEING & SCOTCH BOTTOMS:
Though we prefer to leave pleasure horses, balanced and barefoot, as a breeder and exhibitor, we understand the need for shoeing in competitive horses. As a Clydesdale breeder and national exhibitor, we specialize in the scotch bottom shoeing needs of drafts, and GENESIS FARRIERS CAN BE CONTRACTED TO FLY IN TO SHOE YOUR HITCH!!!!
GENESIS HOOF CARE CENTER:
Genesis Farriers specializes in balanced, equine podiatry style trimming. Dave has experience working with clients & veterinarians to treat a variety of hoof issues including coronary band/hoof lacerations, laminitic horses, abscesses, white line disease & more. As horse lovers ourselves - we understand the difficult situation that working owners face if/when their horse requires daily hoof care to correct an issue. Consequently, we now offer temporary board & care for your horse's hoof needs. We work with your vet to administer wrapping, shoeing, trimming, holding/assisting for surgery and more. Our goal is to provide quality hoof treatment for the horses in our care & peace of mind/stress relief for the horse's owner.
GENESIS TRAINING:
The more Dave learned about the practice of standard
farriery, the more he realized that he wanted to go a different way.
Dave's belief that proper trimming is the foundation for all hoof care ultimately led to the decision to
attend class at the
Institute of Applied Equine
Podiatry in Ocala, Florida
rather than a more traditional farrier school.
Despite the course focus on balanced, barefoot trimming, Dave also understood the need for shoeing in competitive and corrective situations, knowledge which he gained by apprenticing locally with a master farrier in Middleburg, Virginia.
GENESIS PHILOSOPHY:
At Genesis Farriers, we believe in handling horses with a kind but assertive manner, taking the time to bond with them and training them to submit to the farrier through trust. We refrain from drugging horses, preferring to utilize a system of praise & discipline to help you train your horse to stand for
a farrier visit.
GENESIS CLIENTELE:
Genesis Farriers handles all breeds of horses; however, as Clydesdale breeders, we have a particular love and interest in handling & dealing with the special needs of Drafts!!
