Feathered Fox Farrier Services

07/29/2025

To my amazing clients,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued trust and support in my farrier services. It’s been an honor to care for your horses these past 14 years and be part of their journeys.

As some of you know, I’ve been recovering from a traumatic brain injury I received on the job last June. While progress has been steady, it’s reminded me of the importance of pacing myself and listening to my body, making space for full healing. As well as making adjustments to support my new normal in a physically and mentally demanding career.

As much as I love what I do, I’ve come to a point in my business where I need to make a few small changes for the sake of longevity and balance. I’ll be scaling back slightly, adjusting my scheduling and client load to better support both my health and the quality of service I provide. Don't fret - I will never leave you without options.

I’m so grateful for each of you, and I’ll be reaching out individually as needed to work out the best plan moving forward. Your understanding means the world to me.

Thank you for riding with me—literally and figuratively!

- Jaz

P.S - If anyone wants to get into this trade please reach out ;)

The Last Trim

I gave a horse their last trim today.

I showed up to trim as I always do, to the news that this would be his last trim - his owner was saying goodbye in about 3 weeks.

I first met this horse about 6 years ago, and he was a “senior” horse then. He had been retired years prior due to a heart issue, and his owner has doted on him and kept him comfortable and happy and as healthy as possible in his retirement.

When I first met him, his owner stopped me before I picked up my nippers and shared her concern about how he “was always sore after every trim, sometimes for weeks.” I assured her I would be careful, and we agreed to use Hoof Armor as a simple callous layer to see if that would help.

Over the last 6 years, he has been comfortable and pasture sound over all surfaces, even gravel. His owner insisted the Hoof Armor was a game changer- so we applied it every trim for 6 years.

Together, with his owner’s management and a consistent trim cycle, we got his feet in a much better spot.

The last few months have been tough for him. At 32 years old, his body is starting to fail. He had a few recurrent infections, weight fluctuation issues. It’s gotten to where his owner wants to let him go on a good day, instead of when he is actively suffering. As someone who has seen horses go both ways- I will never judge someone for making this decision, and I also prefer a day too early than a day too late.

So today, I trimmed him, took one last photo of one of his feet, and asked his owner if she wanted to do one last Hoof Armor application.

“Oh yes,” she said, “everything as usual.”
She wants to keep him as comfortable as he has been, up to the very last moment possible.

So we finished up his appointment, I gave him some good scratches, and thanked him for letting me take care of his feet the last few years. And then I said goodbye.

As hoofcare providers, we have the privilege of working with horses every month or so, and get to know them and their owners. They become a part of our lives and we are able to see how they grow and change throughout the years.

It makes that last goodbye that much harder, and while today was sad, I am so glad we could keep this boy happy for the last 6 years.

As hoofcare pros, it means a lot to us to be a part of your journeys. Thank you to all the owners for trusting us with your horse’s care, even into their golden years ❤️
