Performance horses are the athletes of the equine world. Whether they
are a roping horse generating bursts of speed followed by a quick stop
or a 3-day eventer competing in the triathlon of equine sporting,
performance horses are subjected to tremendous levels of stress and
strain to their legs, joints and hoofs. They must be shod appropriately.
Coast Farrier Service understands that at this level your horse is more
than a pleasure horse; it is a competitive athlete who may be competing
at the professional or semiprofessional level. We understand that you

years developing your horse to arrive at the level you
are at or that you have invested considerable time and money in a
younger prospect. In either case, injury prevention is key. Coast
Farrier Service also realizes that many performance horses are used for
more than one event and whether it is an eventer competing in dressage,
cross country and stadium jumping or a roping horse used one day for
heading and the next day for calf roping, we will develop a shoeing
program that best suits your horse’s performance events, individual
needs and schedule. We will work closely with you, your trainer, your
rider and your veterinarian to develop a shoeing schedule to match your
demanding training and show schedule, help ensure the longevity of your
horse and comply with the rules and regulations of the USEF or other
regulatory body.
Our one-of-a-kind mobile farrier shop contains all of the tools
necessary to get the job done correctly and efficiently. Coast Farrier
Service carries over 100 different kinds of steel and aluminum shoes,
bar shoes and pads. With two drill presses, three grinders and MIG and
oxy/acetylene welders, Coast Farrier Service can hand forge or fabricate
any shoe necessary. We also carry a full line of Vettec products for
repairs or pads. For traction, Coast Farrier Service offers a complete
array of screw-in and drive-in calks and borium application. Our onboard
computer with Metron PX hoof mapping software can be used to help create
superior medial / lateral and dorsal/ plantar balance as well as
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
our built-in database. Thus, it enables the tracking of potential
soundness problems. These images and calculations can be compiled into a
report format which can be generated and emailed to you, your
veterinarian or anyone you wish.
