Wendy Wood Farrier Service

Please let me know if your horse is showing any signs of illness or if you had a new horse move into your facility.
I will still look after your horse(s) but will schedule them to be my last stop so I can clean my tools and clothes.

The upper respiratory disease commonly referred to as strangles is caused by Streptococcus equi subsp equi. Strangles is spread from horse to horse through direct contact. Horses can also contract the disease by coming into contact with contaminated surfaces. The disease is highly infectious.

Home found!

I have a client looking to find a home for their last pony. Their barn came down in all that snow. Owner moved equines to a boarding barn.

$300 - Brown pony mare, at least 15 years, maybe older. Very shy but sweet. Will need someone with a calm hand and patience. She will get scared easily if you approach too quickly. Good for vet and farrier if they are slow and calm.
37” in height.

Price is negotiable, but main thing is finding a safe and loving home.

Thank you The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada for having myself and Chris Ge**er as your clinicians for today.
It was a great day that ran smoothly and I think everyone enjoyed themselves and learned something!
This clinic was just for professional farriers but they will be doing one for donkey owners later this year!

Homes found for everyone!

I have a client that needs to find new homes for their equines. Part of their barn came down with all this snow, horses have moved to a boarding facility for now but they need to find a home.

$1,000 - Very sweet 24 year old quarter horse gelding. Would be good for a companion horse or as a walk only horse for kids. He loves attention and is great with kids. He will stand for hours being groomed or dressed up. Good for vet and farrier. Loads on a trailer like a pro.

$300 - White and black pony mare, about 9 years old. halter broke, could do more if someone took the time, good for vet and farrier.

$300 - Brown pony mare, at least 15 years, maybe older. Very shy but sweet. Will need someone with a calm hand and patience. She will get scared easily if you approach too quickly. Good for vet and farrier if they are slow and calm.

Price is negotiable, but main thing is finding a safe and loving home.

I did some teeny tiny clogs for a donkey the other day. Pencil for comparison. These will help with laminitis pain and help relieve some discomfort from the hard ground and make for easier walking.

I don’t know the dog or owner but keep a lookout if you’re anywhere in the area. She could have travelled far by now.
