Both donkeys had never received care before and I am a new equine owner so it was going to require a special farrier for the job and it looks like we found him in Kyle! (See you in six weeks) ;-)

This couple was even nice enough to teach me a couple spots I could apply pressure myself later to help my mare. Fair prices. Recommend.

I have donkeys and it can be difficult to get someone to come and trim their hooves. Dale agreed without hesitation and I loved that he had a solid understanding of the differences in a donkey hoof and horse hoof. You can quickly see he has a lot of experience he draws from. I have seen the previous farrier "wrestle" with my girls to get them to stand still and cooperate - but Dale is so confident and calm, and with Robin's relaxed and caring support, there were no issues.

Guess he doesn't understand professional curtesy. If he couldn't take the job he should just say so instead of wasting my time.

You can't go wrong with this Farrier. I got in touch with him after using another who didn't work…read moreout and am so pleased! I went on a whim based on other reviews. Craig is an intuitive Farrier. He isn't a cold one. As horse owners may know in this industry our vets and farriers often grow cold to shield emotions etc but with Craig it's different. He talks to your horse, establishes repor & trust. He understands the animal world and respects it. We had a summer surprise last year and our mare ended up having a beautiful filly. Craig predicted her "wide" belly and large glands meant she was in foal and that we should get the vet out ASAP. Craig patiently worked with our filly at just a few weeks old, and has done so the last 8 months. He baby talks to her and is so patient with her! Having a foal is a delight because you get to form their beginning and know every little thing about them. Starting her off with a good farrier was a must and I am so glad we already had Craig to help. I can't say enough about him! Oh also... My horsies are barefoot. I wanted to shoe my mare despite the cost, and Craig was honest enough to tell me she didn't need shoes. He would have tripled his money had I gone with shoes, but instead advised me on what was best for my mare and that what I thought was a need for shoes was not really the case. Don't hesitate any longer, go with Craig. He is honest, gentle, patient, and intuitive. All the things most farriers lack!

So you have to wait around the whole day hoping he'll come. And after that, he does not show up! Or if you leave finally, he'll come and get angry that you left!! He will then proceed to gossip about you to any one and everyone, submitting personal information such as you payment habits or any other gossip he feels like spreading! I can not get over the amount of information he gave me regarding other stables/horse owners/horses! I was stunned! He used full names and gave very private information. I was extremely worried he would use me as a story at his next stop. Pricing: He is on the high side compared to other farriers. And he will complain that he had to come all the way out for 1 horse?? You just made $80 for a TRIM on 1 horse! Not to mention you have 6 more at neighboring facilities you will be doing! REALLY?? There are better, nicer and cheaper farriers...save yourself the worry and just use on of them.
