Farrier Service Plus

Are you tired of farriers that don’t show up, or are difficult to get to return calls or emails? Farrier Service Plus, run by Ward Edwards M.Sc,APF, is dedicated to customer service. I will return all calls and emails within 24 hours. I prefer to schedule the next appointment at the time of the trim, and I get in touch 2 or 3 days in advance of the appointment by email or phone to remind you of your appointment. I have taken advanced training from one of the top farriers in the US on the treatment of hoof problems including founder and navicular syndrome. I advocate for barefoot trimming done in a sane manner, in which the horse is trimmed to landmarks on the sole with the goal of eventually getting the horse to have a fully functional foot that is in dynamic balance with the rest of the horse's conformation. I realize that not all horses have the ability to go barefoot, and need shoes for therapeutic reasons, and so I can also apply shoes, both metal and composite, either nailed or glued. When shoeing, I use barefoot principles to produce a foot that functions as well as it can. I have studied the methods of many farriers and barefoot trimmers and I use the ideas and methods that I feel make the most sense when looking at the anatomy and function of the foot and the balance of the foot in regards to the whole horse. I strongly believe in client education and do my best to make sure that, if interested, the client knows what I am doing and why. I service the area from Port Hope to Napanee. I am a member of the American Association of Professional Farriers and the Ontario Farrier's Association.
