Bromm's Farrier Service

03/03/2026

This is not an acceptable environment for working on a horse. It is totally lacking any consideration for the safety of your horse or farrier. They only saving factor of this situation is the fact that the horse has the mindset and patience of a Saint. I no longer provide services to this barn.

30 years ago this August, I completed the 400 hours of riding and Horsemanship training of the Old Guard Caisson Platoon, and was selected as the distinguished honor graduate of the class.

I have never stopped studying and learning.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank all my clients for their business, and to say the past year marked my 26th year as a professional farrier. The last year was exceptionally challenging with health issues relating to my Graves diseases medication and dealing with the Veterans Administration appointments just to name a few things that I have been dealing with.

I have been under the misguided notion that life gets easier and slows down with age. But the exact opposite has been my experience this past year.

I was able to get some goals accomplished this past year, but I have also been overwhelmed with many unexpected challenges. so unfortunately, I have really been under a lot of stress which has caused me to experience a level of burnout that has really left me trying to get back my head above water.

I felt I needed to let my clients know that I am really trying to get back to the level of dependability that I have always provided the previous 25 years.

So, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding.

Dean Bromm.

We're not done with the warm weather yet.
Long day yesterday.
This was the last horse of the day.
Had been shoeing size 2's and 3's all day until this new horse which needed 00's.
Glad he chilled out and stood well, I was ready to head home.

I've seen this happen to many times and try to educate people about the dangerous consequences of turning a horse loose like this. Always face the horse the opposite direction that it will want to go.

Had a nice day today. My good friend James"the Irishman" Sullivan rode along. He might not be a farrier, but he is one of those individuals who is just competent and handy to have on your side. Only had to pull 16 horseshoes and trimmed 32 hooves today, to get horses ready for the real winter weather.

I get asked all the time if my shoeing horses is a full time job. So I thought I would elaborate on my business.

I usually get up at 5am. Leave the house between 6-7am drive 30mins to 3hours to my first stop of the day. I may have one big stop for the day or 3-6 smaller stops for the day. I will usually be done by 5pm and then drive home 1-3 hours, because my last stop of the day will be the farthest from home. I average 30,000 miles a year on my truck.

Have 350-400 horses that I try to keep on a 6 week schedule during the summer, and 8-10 week schedule in the winter. I work 5-6 days a week in the summer time. I haven't taken a vacation in 9 years.

Of the horses I do, about 40 %of the horses get trims only, about 35% get front shoes and hinds trimmed and the other 25% get a full set of shoes.

If I get injured I have to mend quick so I don't get to far behind. I tore a tendon in my arm this year and wrenched my back bad enough that I had to go to medical.

I am the business book keeper, administrator, resupply coordinator and I have to keep track of all the messages that come in by text, voicemail, Facebook messenger and on the home phone answering machine.

People tell me that I get to make my own schedule, I wish. My schedule has to accommodate many factors and also accommodate all my clients schedules.

So yes, I only have to work half a day if I want too. It's just a matter of deciding which 12 hours of the day that I want to work.
