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 currently taking a limited number of new clients near Stirling, Ontario. I am 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 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 realise that not all horses have the ability to go barefoot, and need shoes for therapeutic reasons. In those cases, I can refer you to a farrier that does shoes. I have studied the methods of many farriers and barefoot trimmers and I use the ideas and techniques that I feel make the most sense when looking at the anatomy and function of the foot and the balance of the foot in regard 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 am also offering a service of slow-motion video, that allows you to study in detail the movement of your horse and/or the rider.  At 240 frames per second, the movement is 1/8 the speed of a standard video shot at 30 frames per second.  My rate for videoing your horse is $50 per hour, a 1-hour minimum, plus travel expenses.

If you are looking for a farrier, give me a call at 613-395-6195 or use the contact page to send me an email
