Haul-in
Our mobile service schedule is full. All new clients must haul their horse(s) to Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School in Plymouth, CA. We will meet you at their state-of-the-art facility to care for them in a clean and controlled environment.
Working with your veterinarian
If your veterinarian has prescribed a specific shoeing package for your horse, we will fulfill it.
If you are meeting with a veterinarian to check on your horse's hoof health, we try our absolute best to adjust our schedule so that we can attend the appointment at no charge to you.
It's important to us to discuss a shoeing plan directly with your veterinarian, as it ensures comprehensive care for your horse and keeps everyone on the same page.
Our commitment to your horse
We are committed to providing your horse with the best possible care. This means we don't carry our "ego" when we get in our truck every morning. We are happy to discuss any questions or concerns you may have, and we encourage you to be involved in your horse's hoof care.
