Apparently Facebook has its AI automatically tweak the wording of some posts for "targeted engagement" 🙄. I'm trying to figure out how to shut it off. But if the wording on an ad of ours looks odd, that would be why. I can't stress enough that this is not an AI friendly/supportive business. Hopefully it'll be sorted soon.

Thanks,

~Sara

Here is the updated price list for 2026.

Trims will be remaining the same. However, with the cost of steel, fuel, and supplies going up the price of shoes has increased.

If you have any questions or need to make payment arrangements prior to the next appointment, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you.

Hey everyone! I'd like to keep this page more centered around hoof care-related posts and education. So, I've started a new page to showcase the forging projects I make (when I have limited free time lol).

If you're interested, head over and drop me a follow!

Hello! Let me introduce myself.

My name is Sara. I was born and raised in Prince George, BC, where I still continue to work and play. I love everything outdoors and enjoy life up here in the north.

I am the Owner/Operator of and have been in operation since 2018.

I've enjoyed tinkering in the forge and metalworking since I started as a farrier. I've sold some crafts here and there around Christmas over the years. With the support and encouragement of my friends and clients, I've decided to start up a seperate page to showcase the things I make, and to display my works to those who may want them!

Most items are made from worn out shoes from my client's horses that I replaced and old rasps. I love being able to give them a second life with people who enjoy them after they have lived out their initial purpose. Others are sourced from scrap metal ends and/or purchased from local small business metal suppliers.

Stay tuned for more coming soon!

Interesting read.

Just a head's up for all clients:

If you are waiting to hear back from me on Facebook, please reach out and message me on my cell phone.

Not all messages on either end are going through on this platform. I'm trying to track down anyone that may have been missed.

I have reported this issue to Facebook, but for the time being, please contact me via my cell number.

Thank you,

~Sara

Decided to try something new while I was tinkering in the forge this evening. She's got some flaws, and I have some things I'd change for next time, but it functions!

Rest in peace, my dear sweet girl. You've been with me since I was fourteen, and gave me fourteen more wonderful years together. I thought I was going to get so many more years together with you. You had a rocky start to life, but you spent most of it being so loved and cherished. I'll see you one day on the other side of the rainbow bridge, my baby girl.

I understand that people may be well-meaning and curious, but please, I don't want to talk about it. I appreciate any well-meaning messages, I'll be spending the next couple days with close friends and family and will be slow to respond to messages while I process everything. I will be taking some time, and will contact anyone whose appointmrnt is effected next week on Monday. Thank you.

Good morning! I'm playing some catch up with my social media today.

This new banner design was recently created for us by the lovely Wild Cactus Design Co. Shout out to her, she does gorgeous work. The same company also created Forge Ahead's logo, business card design, and brand mark. If you're needing business graphics done, she's your gal.

You'll see this out at certain sponsored events around town coming up, so keep an eye out for us!
