Lea has been a lifesaver, for me! After years of unreliable farriers, farriers that did not want to mess w/feathers (I have a Gypsy Vanner) or farriers that didn't want to come do a single horse...I finally found, Lea! She immediately answered my email, made an appointment, quicker than I expected and showed up on time! I cannot say enough, about her patience (my horse stands well, but after several months of no trimming, he lost his patience!) And I was THOROUGHLY impressed, with her range of knowledge... Not to mention, she was just flat out sweet to my horse!! If u have had it, with your farrier-are looking for a farrier, or just want one that is better. I implore you to contact, Lea! She was what I have wanted, in a farrier...and MORE!!!

My Donkey Pete - 4 Foundered hooves (one a club foot), extremely poor ground manners when it came to trimming(not all his fault), laid down 23 out of 24 hours each day. He came to us with these problems. A subtle trim session and one week later he was much improved-proving less can be much, much more! He is so much better after several sessions! He lopes and trots and stands comfortably! AND I get photos!!! Love it! Thanks Lea and great things are ahead for you!

My little half-donkey, Diesel, had several bouts of Laminitis before he came into my care. He was a rescue - having been left out in a field for over a year with no care and Lea was so patient when it came to working with him and gaining his trust. Not long ago first few trims took over an hour and now he will stand with Lea in a stall with no halter or lead rope and let her trim his feet. Thank you so much, Lea! I wouldn't have anyone else take care of my mini hinny!

Thank you so much Lea for all that you have done for my pony, Scout. I try to always do what is best for my paint pony and when he foundered, I was so relieved to have you to trim him. He needed a touch-up every two weeks and within a year of his founder, I was able to ride him again. For being 26 he is as spunky as ever and your trim even helps his arthritis. He is so much more comfortable now and acts like a 3-year old. Scout and I both thank you for all that you do!
