Farrier Services
Balanced shoeing for the Icelandic horse is key to good performance – whether on the trails or in the show ring. At Léttleiki Icelandics we offer complete farrier services for our clients. Our primary farrier is Caleb Spink, who studied under Thad Gouge of TG Forge. Guest farriers may also assist us when necessary.
Each horse in training is shod in accordance with its individual needs. Our primary goal is to help the horse develop a healthy and balanced hoof, but we also always keep the gaits of the horse in mind. How a horse is shod can significantly influence how a horse moves and the quality of the gaits. This is why our trainers and farriers work together!
Farrier Information
Every horse in training will be shod or trimmed an average of once every 6-8 weeks. When a horse is shod will be completely at the discretion of the Léttleiki trainers and farriers.
Trims can be on an as needed basis depending on how fast each horse’s hooves grow.
Specialty shoeing options available.
