About Shane
I grew up around horses, and truth be told, they’ve taught me more about patience and grit than most folks ever could. Over the past 25 years, I’ve shod everything from rodeo stock to trail companions, and one thing holds true every time: a horse rides on its feet.
This work isn’t just a trade to me—it’s a calling—it’s a family tradition. Every trim, every shoe, every strike of the hammer is done with the same care I’d give my own. Because I know when your horse is sound, you ride easier, work longer, and rest better.
When you call me out, you’re not just getting a farrier. You’re getting someone who shows up on time, listens close, and leaves your horse better than he found it. That’s my word.
Shoeing Services
Full Shoe
A full shoeing includes trimming, balancing, and applying shoes to all four hooves (or as needed). Shoes are carefully shaped and fitted to each hoof to provide optimal protection, traction, and support.
Recommended for:
Performance horses
Horses working on hard or rocky ground
Horses needing additional traction or stability
Hooves that wear faster than they grow
Proper full shoeing protects the hoof capsule, enhances movement, and helps prevent long-term structural issues.
$140
Half Shoe (Front or Hind Only)
Half shoeing involves trimming and applying shoes to either the front or hind hooves only — most commonly the front.
Recommended for:
Horses that primarily need front-end support
Light to moderate workload horses
Situations where only two hooves require protection
This option provides targeted support while maintaining a natural balance.
$100
Trim
A professional trim focuses on maintaining proper balance, removing excess growth, and promoting healthy hoof structure without shoes.
Benefits of routine trims:
Encourages proper weight distribution
Reduces stress on joints and tendons
Maintains healthy hoof shape
Prevents cracking and imbalance
Regular trimming is essential for every horse, whether shod or barefoot.
$60
Pads & Equipak
Hoof pads are placed between the hoof and shoe to provide added cushioning and protection. They help absorb shock and reduce sole bruising.
Ideal for:
Horses with thin soles
Sensitive or tender-footed horses
Horses working on hard terrain
Equipak® is a supportive hoof packing material applied beneath pads or shoes. It fills the sole area to provide uniform support, improve shock absorption, and encourage healthy circulation within the hoof.
Often used for:
Performance horses
Horses needing added sole support
Rehabilitation and therapeutic cases
$80
Pair Clips
Clips are small additions to the shoe that help keep it more securely attached to the hoof, especially on horses with tricky hoof shapes or in slippery/muddy conditions. They help reduce shoe loss and improve stability.
$10
Corrective Shoeing
Corrective shoeing addresses imbalances, conformational issues, and movement irregularities. Each application is tailored to the individual horse to promote proper alignment and improved gait.
Used to help with:
Uneven hoof wear
Conformational challenges
Gait abnormalities
Long-term balance correction
The goal is to restore proper biomechanics and prevent future soundness problems.

Call to Schedule
A horse with sore feet is a horse that can’t perform, can’t roam, can’t rest easy.
And when you’re depending on that horse—whether it’s for work, competition, or companionship—you need more than just a quick trim and a nail or two. You need a farrier you can trust.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Shane Bryson. Been working with horses long enough to know they’ll tell you what they need, if you’re willing to listen.
My job?
Simple. Keep your horse balanced, sound, and ready for the road ahead. No shortcuts, no guessing. Just good, honest work.
This isn’t just shoeing.
It’s respect for your time, your horse, and the work you two do together. When I leave, your horse won’t just be shod…
They’ll be steady, sound, and set for the miles to come.
