All horse are kept on a 6-8 week schedule through out the year. The next appointment will be pre determined on the day of last appointment.   The time and day of appointment will be based on the current route.

  • Payment is ALWAYS due and EXPECTED upon completion of work. Both checks and cash are acceptable forms of payment.
  • I do not hold checks or accept post-dated checks.

I reserve the right to cease work at any time during the trimming or shoeing session if I feel that the situation is escalating to the point safe and quality work cannot be performed, i.e., due to unsafe work conditions, horse behavior, or handler inadequacy.

  • Fees will be administered on a case by case basis in regards to time and materials. 
  • Fees may also reflect my time on the clock while the handler works with the horse or sedation is given.  Please Be Aware I am on a schedule and have other appointments to keep.
  • By law, a licensed Veterinarian is the only person to give IV or IM sedation.

I do not desire to provide these services.  However, if they are not addressed before work begins, fees will be applied accordingly.

  • Billing: If payment is not received upon completion of work, a billing fee will be added to your total.
  • Fly/bug control
  • Mud and dirt removal below knee/hock per horse
  • Catch horse (horses turned out in large pasture)    Catch horse fees may also be applied for undue time waiting for the handler and horse.

Barn Calls: Based on number of horses and distance from my street address or last stop whichever is closer.  Barns in the same area with few horses may share travel fees if the appointments are scheduled in advance.

 

Canceled or Forgotten Appointments: Please try to provide 24 hour advance notice of canceled appointments, as I will try to provide same courtesy.  If the appointment is not canceled prior to my arrival, a Barn Call Fee will be applied.
