Workshop and New Clients

Scheduling has always been a challenge and as most people are aware I have not been able to accommodate new clients for an extended period of time. The solution to these problems is to be prepared to bring your horse into the Hamilton Racecourse workshop.

Advantages of the workshop
-Weatherproof
-Clean, flat and safe ensuring the best quality of work is done
-2 day stables. If you work in Hamilton or need to go get some jobs done in town. Your horses can be stored safely.
- Availability of appointments
- Avoiding Travel charges
- I might even be able to make you a coffee.

Disadvantages
- The coffee isn't great

Thanks Ewan

Thankyou!!

As most know I have worked really hard to become a better tradesman in the past 6-12 months. This has involved my first competitions, working with other elite farriers, tutoring in farriery science and of course sitting my higher exams.

This has come at a cost to the business and I just wanted to say thank you to the clients that have worked with me and tolerated various issues during this time.

I also want to acknowledge my wife Deanne and my two young girls Hannah and Alex. They have suffered the long hours, regular trips away and massive mood swings.

So now it's time to work on the business. This looks like changes to bookings, changes to the price list and better communication. I'll be posting updates over the next week with the complete details.

But now would be a great time to reach out to confirm your bookings.

So thankyou!!

Scheduling update;

Facebook has removed the ability to schedule appointments. This has been how I have managed appointments (albeit poorly) for the last 4 years. It's a good opportunity to review the process.

I have settled on using the Google calendar. Scheduling will be done Monday and Wednesday mornings if you haven't heard from me on those days I may need a friendly reminder.

Travel schedule;
Monday 7:00-3:30- South or East (Dunkeld, Penshurst, MacArthur, Hawkesdale, Koroit, Orford)
Tuesday 7:00-3:30 - South or South West (Branxholme, Condah, Heywood, Portland)
Wednesday - unavailable
Thursday 7:00-3:30- West or North (Coleraine, Cavendish, Balmoral)
Friday 7:00-3:30- Hamilton Workshop
Saturday 9:00- 12:00- Hamilton Workshop

Please reach out as I have inevitably missed some people in the latest round of bookings and I'll be back to you Monday morning with a time and a date.

Thanks again,

Ewan Tope

Exciting news!!!Tope Forge and Farrier is moving to the Hamilton Racing Club

We will have a full workshop facility with tie up racks and day boxes. This will allow us to provide a premium service with additional flexibility. We are thrilled that we will be working alongside the region's equine veterinary practice Southwest Equine . This will be both on existing client horses and therapeutic cases as required.

We will be available at our new Hamilton workshop on Fridays and Saturday mornings by appointment only.

Hi Everyone,

A couple of things to keep you up to date on.

I have broken my phone screen and am currently not contactable on my usual contact number. This means that Facebook and the office number, 0474078374, are the best and only means of contact.

Secondly, After having some very happy time away from the business with my new family I am now back to work full time. I have been able to contact some but not all clients. If you have not been contacted I apologise but please reach out to organise your next appointment.

Regards,

Ewan
