George Spear and Friends Natural Hoofcare

George Spear and Friends Natural Hoofcare I have started this page to share some of the interesting horses and hooves we run into from time to time.

And to have a place to discuss how we help feet get better and horses get more OK with the idea of the farrier coming.

A farrier friend in Spain ran into this foot which is very overgrown. Their solution doesn't look very safe to me!

I am spending the week at a class on the "Brute De Forge" style of knife making at the New England School of Metalworking taught by the Famous Joe Kesslar. Its a blacksmiths knife made in the forge often from recycled materials such as used farriers rasps. Look for cutlery to be available in limited quantities in the coming months. I'm planning to offer a "Ranch Hand" model with a blunt point for cutting around livestock, kitchen knives, hunting knives etc.

The farrier was also the village blacksmith so this is an interesting and historical add on to our hoofcare offerings. I'm also planning a nice handmade hoofpick.

"How about pricing...Are you the cheapest around?"

Nope, and I'm probably not the most expensive either.

My Grandfather was a pretty smart guy, he always told me that people generally know what their work is worth and charge accordingly. If you're looking for a cheap trim or shoe job, I'm probably not your guy. I would rather do work your horse and I can both be proud of.

Cowboy looks spectacular! Siira is not bad either :)
