I got set up with an appointment. The day before, the time was pushed back. On the day of the…read moreappointment, he ended up having me wait over an hour, never responded to calls or texts and ended up completely not showing up. Extremely unprofessional and rude. I would not recommend this farrier to anyone. I will definitely be spreading the word about this person to my very large network in the horse community. If I could give less than one star, I would.

Many of you probably read about Big Brown and the special shoes he needed for the Belmont. If so,…read moreyou know how important horse shoes are for any horse. My horses are no exception and because they are special to me, I always call Chris Howard for shoeing. Imagine a good ole' boy from Oklahoma who drives a really cool farrier truck that plays classic XM satellite C&W songs when shop is set up. Imagine a deep, calming voice that always settles even the youngest of his clients, like my Miz Scarlett. My old boy even falls asleep when his shoes are being put on as he completely trusts Chris not to hurt his feet and knows his gentle hands will take care of him all away around. Chris will always try to accommodate you if you have a special need, like you have a horse show and your horse needs a touch up trim or has thrown a shoe. Or if he is at your stable and you do not have an appointment (even if you are a new client), he will take time before he leaves to see you or schedule an appointment within a few days. And most of all, imagine this good ole' Oklahoma boy with the calming voice saying, "You know your horse is getting Jimmy Choo shoes" or " This is the Manolo Blahnik trim." That always cracks me up and gives Chris 5 stars. ST and Miz Scarlett both agree with this review.

Ryan Metcalf is an expert horseman and farrier. Yesterday he came out to Fairmount Stables to put…read moreshoes onto a horse that I am going to be riding for her owner. This horse hadn't been shod for some time and she was in pain, and her lack of attention made her frustrated and impatient. Ryan worked with her with care and concern, regularly having to stand up, take a breath, pat Julie on the chest and start all over again. As a result the shoeing took far longer than normal. In addition, Ryan was clear when one of us (most specifically me) was not being helpful by holding on to her head too tightly or otherwise adding to the problem, which is instructive for me, but also did so in a way that allowed me to learn and wasn't insulting. This is an important aspect of horsemastership by my estimation, I don't know what I don't know, and I value being told. I ended up paying Ryan a third again what his payment might otherwise have been because of the extra time he had to take to get the job done, and because Julie ultimately calmed down and began to cooperate due to his consistent good humor and patience. She ended up with good shoes and is no longer limping. And I'm better informed for next time. All of that tells me that this is a guy who knows how to work with people AND horses, which isn't always the case. HIghly recommended.
