Wish I could leave zero stars. This ferrier deserves zero. Mare was lame after a trim and gelding was beat with a rasp. Never again will he be near my horses. He was vulgar cussing and 4 hours late. Beware are you willing to put your horses health at risk when there are so many other great ferriers out there? Do your research when it come to this ferrier. Check Facebook posts about him. read more

Demetri was shoeing our neighbors horses, which she highly recommended, her words were a really good farrier and being as she has had horses all her life I'm sure she knows what she's talking about. Anyway, I popped over and ask Demetri if he would be able to shoe my horse, he didn't have a lot of time but would have time for the front feet! Not only did Demetri take time out of his busy schedule he did a great job. Now we're on his schedule! Very Happy Customer and looking forward to having her back feet done. read more

He is a fraud. None of his schooling checks out and he beats horses, lames them. Stay far away from him. he showed up to my house and flip-flops and shorts, and I thought that was very unprofessional, but what came out of his mouth was even worse. He was very vulgar and beat my horse with the rasp. read more

Our horses were transported away while we endeavored to reclaim them. We have faced him in court thrice. Following our victory in court, he attacked my husband. He filed an appeal, and during the wait for our next chance to retrieve our horses, he severely injured both of them. Now, our struggle continues as we search for them. Caution is advised regarding Demetri Guidry; his reputation precedes him in Shasta County. I am acquainted with another reviewer here whose story about what he did to her horses is equally heartbreaking. read more

I have known Demetri for 10 years and he has kept 4 of my endurance horses sound the entire time. He has won multiple farrier competitions and is a talented trimmer. His shoes never come off and he is a pleasure to communicate with. He has been on time and reliable for 10 years! And again, the most important thing is that he has kept my horses sound for thousands of miles of riding. His partner is also a pleasure to deal with - they are a good team and very professional. I HIGHLY recommend Demetri. read more

I have three horses and Demetri has been trimming their feet for over 3 years. He is great with my girls and has always been so nice to them. We had a really bad horseshoer before him and he made my horse comfortable and has gained our trust. read more

If there was a way to put a 0 I would. I had the same experience as Deb L. years ago. Demetri is the worst. Do Not let him touch your horse. My mare, Amber, was lame for at least two weeks after his shoeing. I called him the next day and no return phone call. NEVER HEARD from him ever! He cost me a vet visit to make sure he didn't royally screw her up. I have the best shoer now, Gage Garcia read more

Demetri has been my horse shoer for over 5 years! My herd was 84 and now is a mere 56 and he cares for them all! We have horses of all ages , shapes and sizes. My horses are on a 6 week rotation that keeps them sound with beautiful hooves. Demetri is skilled and patient with the horses. He is careful to trim or shoe the horse where they are comfortable. I have a few older horses that are a little stiff in the knees and he lets them pick where they are comfortable holding their hoof. Along with being great with the horses (he gives them cookies and kisses) he is reliable and professional. read more

Nor Cal Farrier Services - Demetri trimming Big Mama! - Farriers Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Demetri has been taking care of my 3 show horses for 5 years now, and I cannot say enough about what an amazing job he does. I actually joined Yelp just to let his potential customers know how dependable this guy is, and what a pleasure he is to work with. Not only that, but he has a way of handling my one "challenging" guy that I am blown away by every time he comes out. Long story short...if you need a farrier, this is the guy. read more

Demetri shod my boarder's horse twice, although it seemed like his "helper" did a lot of the work. After the second time the horse was shod he was very lame afterwards. So lame in fact that I had to let him live in the sand arena because it was so painful for him to walk otherwise. This was the first time this horse had been lame after being shod in the 6 yrs. he has been here. When the owner got back from vacation he called Demetri who said he would come over to look at his horse. Demetri never showed up & never answered or returned the owner's calls. There are at least 2 other negative reviews on Yelp but you have to look at the "not recommended" reviews, or it looks like there are "0" reviews. Not sure why Yelp would classify all of the available reviews that way, especially as they may save another horse & owner from suffering the same fate as the three of us. read more
