What Clients Say

Trusted by Missouri
Horse Owners.

My mare was dead lame after a bad trim from someone else. Ellis came out, evaluated her balance, and within two visits she was moving freely again. Cannot recommend him enough.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions.

Most horses benefit from a farrier visit every 6–8 weeks. Performance horses or those with corrective needs may require more frequent attention — every 4–6 weeks. Barefoot horses generally follow a 6–8 week cycle to prevent excessive growth and flaring.
No — many horses do well barefoot, especially those on soft terrain with healthy, well-formed hooves. Shoes are recommended for horses doing significant work on hard surfaces, those with conformational issues, horses recovering from certain hoof conditions, or performance horses needing specific traction.
Watch for uneven wear patterns, flaring on one side, stumbling or tripping, shortened stride, reluctance to work on hard ground, heat in the hoof wall, or your horse consistently landing on one side of a foot. Any of these warrant a farrier evaluation.
Yes. Patient handling is a core part of our approach. We work slowly, reward calm behavior, and never rush a horse that's anxious. For horses with significant handling issues, we recommend having your vet sedate the horse beforehand — we're happy to coordinate.
Yes — lost shoes, cracked hooves, and sudden lameness get priority attention. Text or call 417-237-2723 and describe the situation. We'll get to you as quickly as our schedule allows, and we'll advise you on immediate first aid steps while you wait.

A standard trim takes 30–45 minutes per horse. A full set of shoes typically takes 60–90 minutes. Corrective or therapeutic work can take longer depending on complexity. Having your horse clean, dry, and haltered when we arrive keeps things running smoothly.
