professionally administered, scheduled, competent and
committed hoof care program. We believe that each horse, regardless of
age, use or price, has an inherent dignity and is worthy of the very
best care.
Today, everyone’s time is precious. Coast Farrier Service helps take the
effort out of horse ownership by offering scheduled, on time and
dependable horseshoeing service. Coast Farrier Service serves the
beautiful communities of Agoura Hills, Malibu, Westlake Village, Topanga
Canyon, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Camarillo,
Moorpark, Simi Valley and the surrounding areas located in Los Angeles
and Ventura Counties. We’re local and we’ll be there for you when you
need us.
Coast Farrier Service is completely prepared to meet your horse’s every
hoof care need. In our one-of-a-kind, custom-built, mobile horseshoeing
shop, we carry an exceptionally large inventory of over 100 sizes and
styles of both steel and aluminum shoes as well as a complete assortment
of bar-shoes and pads. And for the horse with a truly special need, we
also stock a wide array of Vettec, Keratex, Grand Circuit, Mustad and
many other hoof care products for gluing on shoes, repairing hoof walls,
providing support to the sensitive structures of the horse’s foot and
for general hoof health. We have the capability to instantly and
accurately measure the variations in surface temperature of your horse’s
hoofs with our non-contact infrared laser thermometer. Additionally,
from our onboard computer and through the use of downloaded digital
photographs (shot on site by Coast Farrier Service), Coast Farrier
Service can utilize EponaTech, Metron PX hoof mapping software which
allows us to measure, track changes, compare and archive up to 70
calculated parameters of your horse’s hoof. These unbiased, full color
images and parameters can be compared to your own horse’s historical
database or to a built in database. Reports can be emailed to you, your
veterinarian or anyone you choose. Coast Farrier Service has all the
tools and materials necessary to get the job done, correctly and
efficiently, the first time.
Even with all of the high tech equipment and machinery we have at our
disposal, Coast Farrier Service remains committed to the basics – hoof
balance and hot shoeing. Every horse is meticulously balanced for
optimum stance, gate and ultimately, comfort, performance and soundness.
At Coast Farrier Service, every horse is shod hot, if possible– and
while it does take longer, we understand and believe in the benefits of
both superior shoe fit and increased hoof health gained by hot fitting
and hot seating your horse’s shoes.
Unfortunately, there may come a time when your horse will be in need.
Whether it is a simple lost shoe on the morning of a big show or an
acute or chronic lameness, we will be there for your horse and you. For
serious cases, Coast Farrier Service believes there is a need for, and
that optimum results will only be achieved, when the horse’s owner,
veterinarian and farrier work as a team. We stand ready to work closely
with you and your veterinarian. Coast Farrier Service will be there for
your horse and you, and continue to liaison with your veterinarian until
your horse’s recovery.
Though the basic horseshoeing principals are well established and
proven, Coast Farrier Service also understands that, like most sciences,
new advances in horseshoeing and hoof care are being introduced almost
daily. That is why we have invested thousands of dollars in continuing
education. Coast Farrier Service remains committed to keeping an open
mind toward implementing new advances in equine hoof care. However,
ethics dictate that we will only employ new procedures, products or
techniques after they have been closely examined and they have held up
consistently over time and under close, unbiased scrutiny. Throughout
the year, members of Coast Farrier Service will regularly attend clinics
and conferences, taught by some of the world’s best farriers, at
locations throughout the United States.
Coast Farrier Service will be there for you to provide caring, ethical
and unmatched horseshoeing service. We look forward to establishing a
dedicated and enjoyable long term hoof care program with you. Contact us today
for a complimentary visit to discuss your individual needs as well as a
complete explanation of all of our services. Your satisfaction is
guaranteed. |
