"Gary is a genuine horseman. He has the expertise, experience and passion for the wellbeing and comfort of the horse. I am so grateful for having Gary as my farrier in New Zealand for over 9 years since I purchased my warm blood, Jack. Gary could see by his movement Jack was carrying some discomfort due to his club foot. With correct trimming Gary got him comfortable and moving correctly. With Gary’s careful management of his club foot, Jack now 19 years old, remains sound and continues to lead a comfortable and athletic life. Two years ago, I took on a rescue thoroughbred mare in terrible condition with very poor feet. Gary immediately began remedial trimming Ria to give her relief, encouraging her to move comfortably. Corrective shoes were fitted for two shoeing cycles to improve the palmar angle of her front feet. With consistent, correct trimming Gary has turned her life around and Ria is now a sound, thriving and happy barefoot horse. I will always be thankful to Gary for the care he has taken with my horses. He has changed their lives and mine."
"Gary's knowledge and passion for horses continually astounds me. He has helped my horse's movement patterns and overall comfort immeasurably. Every time he works on my horse I learn something new that changes the way I ride"
''I started using Gary a few months ago for my 4 rescue horses. Gary was very kind to my rescues which is what they need after living through horrible conditions before coming to live with me. One horse in particular had amazing results from his knowledge and expertise. Sophie has ring bone in her front 2 legs and 2 weeks after he trimmed her (correctly) she began to trot with the other horses, I had never seen her trot as long as she has been with me only walk. She is so improved now after her second trim with Gary she no longer limps, and I have caught her running a few times! Her mood is improved (she is a different horse) now that her pain is diminished due to proper trimming of her feet. I am overwhelmed with emotion with the progress and the difference Gary has made in my horses lives, he is a God send!"
