Our wonderful facility has been a long time coming, and we’re incredibly grateful to have it! 💜
Last week, we had the privilege of working alongside dual board-certified oral surgeon Dr. Marron to assist in a high-risk, complex tooth extraction on this mama.
We’re so thankful to have a facility and team equipped to handle challenging procedures like this while also accommodating their *adorable* naughty babies! 🐴

🎃 For all you horse people, this might be one of the scariest skeletons you’ll see this spooky season! 💀🐴
This X-ray is a real-life example of what the feet of a severely foundered horse can look like. Founder can cause devastating changes to the structures inside the hoof. The coffin bone (triangular bone in the center) should be parallel to the hoof wall 🫣
Though painful, founder is usually treatable and this sweet boy is doing much better! 🩻

🎃 Spooky season is here!👻 We know that skeletons are supposed to be scary, but around here they’re just another day at the office! 💀🩻 The only thing scarier than Halloween was finding out how many puppies were hiding in here! 14 total! 🫣

Join us on Oct. 9th when our very own Dr. Darby Sullivan will be representing RMVS as the attending veterinarian to answer questions and talking all things hoof care and lameness!

Our fall clinician this year is Blane Chapman CJF!
Whether you're shoeing hot or cold, ranch horses or performance horses, this clinic is for you!

Blane will be discussing foot mapping and balance, hot and cold shaping, and what good everyday work looks like on working horses. We'll have a talk on radiographs, and vet-farrier relations with Dr. Sullivan of Rocky Mountain Veterinary Services PLLC, and a little horsemanship from Jim Littrell!

Oleo Acres Farrier & Blacksmith Supply, Inc. has sponsored lunch for everyone!

This will be an action packed two day event in beautiful Gunnison, Colorado, right in the peak of fall colors and cool weather.
Let us know if you're coming so we make sure we have enough food!

Below is Blane's bio:
Blane Chapman, CJF is a highly respected Certified Journeyman Farrier (CJF) based in Texas, with decades of experience in professional horseshoeing and hoof care.
Son of the legendary farrier Burney Chapman — a pioneer in treating founder laminitis — Blane grew up immersed in the craft, accompanying his father to feedlots, racetracks, and ranches. He began shoeing horses in high school and has built a successful mixed practice focused on performance horses, including those in Western disciplines like roping,barrel racing , cutting , cow horse , as well as therapeutic cases.
Blane holds a B.A. in Rangeland Ecology and Management from Texas A&M University, along with an Associate degree from Howard County Junior College and a Master’s in Agriculture from Sul Ross State University. He operates primarily in the Lubbock and Vernon areas, where he maintains a haul-in practice and has long served iconic operations such as the historic 6666 Ranch.
A dedicated mentor, Blane (along with his brothers) has trained numerous apprentices, fostering a tight-knit farrier community in West Texas that emphasizes fundamentals, education, and horse welfare. Featured in industry publications like Mustad Hoofcare, American Farriers Journal, American Farriers Association, and the Farrier Focus Podcast, he is known for his practical insights, innovative approaches, and commitment to lifelong learning in the farrier profession.
