J.L Farrier Service

03/28/2026

I have put this off time and time again- but I do believe it is official and final now. With my Clinical Year of Vet School begining in May and my health still creating challenges when it comes to working in the heat and doing manual labor- J.L Farrier Service is now closed.

I want to thank everyone who has ever done me the honor of letting me take care of their horses, and supported me on both my journey as a Farrier and now as a Vet Student and Future DVM.

Upon graduation, I will full transition this page to a professional profile so anyone interested and follow my career as a DVM.

If you are in need of a Farrier, I recommend checking the American Farriers Association Website as they have a directory of their members and certified farriers, or calling your local feedstore, or your equine Vet, to see who they recommend. Wellshod in Amarillo, D&L in Aubrey, and The Texas Farrier Supply in Kennendale are great resources for Farriers between DFW and the Panhandle.

As advertised I am now opening my book to NEW CLIENTS in the Amarillo area! I am keeping a radius of 20 miles from central Amarillo, due to my academic schedule causing such a limitation on my time to actually get on the road to work. If you are within the radius, send me a message here on Facebook, give me a call* or send a text message at 903-436-0522 to book an appointment!

Appointments slots will be available on Friday PM, Saturday, and Sunday AM!

*Please leave a voicemail if I do not pickup, I do not return calls to unknown numbers who do not leave messages. Thank you!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

I am hoping to re-open my client book on a limited basis for the Amarillo area in January 2025!

I am still recovering from a West Nile Infection, and juggling my academic adventures, so I will only be offering Friday PM, Saturday and Sunday AM appointments on a limited basis. Pricing starts at: Trims $55, Half Set shoes (steel): $100, Full set of shoes (steel) $200. There are additional charges for pads, packing, specialty shoes, etc and I am happy to provide an estimate of cost as necessary.

Horses must be well behaved, halter broke, quiet for farrier work and safe to work on to be accepted onto my book. I do accept donkeys that fit the same criteria. Not only am I still not 100% physically recovered, I am also having to be very protective of my body as to not interfere with my schooling!

I thank everyone for their understanding! Please feel free to send me a message if you would like to get onto my schedule for January!

Last set of shoes I had scheduled to put on before I start Vet School! And I'm very happy with how they turned out.

While I was down for the count with a flare up of my allergies/sinus infection today, I did manage to get some horses done in the last week. Hoping I wake up tomorrow ready to get back out there! The clock is winding down to when I will be off to Vet School!

This sweet mare came onto my book with some pretty severely under-run heels and broken back angles. I suspected it was severe enough to possibly have led to a flat or negative palmar angle but that wasn't confirmed with radiographs. I wish I had more pictures of the very start and in-between as the "before" were still an improvement over where we had started! I just trimmed and reset her shoes last week and was blown away with how much better she looks! Her heels are returning to their normal, healthy, position, she is able to comfortably stand square over her feet, and her heel bulbs are up off the ground!

All it takes is some good, routine hoofcare, proper nutrition and time!

I love getting to help horses get their hooves back under them! This sweet broodmare cleaned up well today and we have a solid plan for her moving forward. Amazing what a difference a quick trim can make!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with a 4th year vet student before they started their equine clinical rotation! Montana was my fantastic model pony for the student to practice pulling shoes, trimming and bandaging a foot!! The future of vet med is so bright with such a motivated student almost done with their training!!

Merry Christmas to all my wonderful clients!

Retirement and Corporate America just wasn't for me so I am back and accepting new clients within 30 miles of Whitesboro TX! Message me for more information!

With warmer weather coming day-by-day, and no major disasters at my house (Thank goodness!) I am planning on getting back to work this coming week. At this point, I am just going to pick up where I had to leave off two weeks ago and just keep marching on. If I can get fully caught up and keep the whole book from being off schedule, I will!

As always, feel free to give me a call or send me a FB message if you have any questions!
